exhaust welding question

[kennethshaw]

Hi guys,

I'm new to the board and new to welding. I picked up a 120 V mig welder to do some modifications on a cb175 cafe racer. I am looking to try to weld exhaust tips to the existing headers. I also need to add baffles. I was wondering what the best technique is for getting a good weld. Also, do I weld the baffles in first?

These are the baffles that I bought and they slide into the exhaust tips.

Any help would be really really appreciated.

Do you mean wire feed?
MIG will have a gas bottle(Co2).
Tip no.1 Find someone who welds or has welded for a living and thier work was inspected for quality.
I know I was a certified welder,still have my own machine(stick/tig).
Tip no.2 Clean metal no rust, carbon, oil, etc...
