No internal purge, its not required for SST unless you are doing ultrapure plumbing to prevent oxide formation. it is required for Ti for structural reasons.

My other "performance vehicle" It won't outrun the turbo but it will move a lot more gravel.

Very nice! Limited to what, 15mph?

You have peaked my interest in that little TIG though, quite a versatile little unit.

Might be able to test fit on the car tomorrow. I won't be putting UW out of business with my weld quality. A grinder and having then electropolished when done should hide my sins.

Got then on for a test fit. The sleeves that slide onto the exhaust outle are just tacked so I can move them around if I want before welding the up. They stick out pretty far but I can trim the tips off
. They also sit a little low especially the drivers side. Comments on the fit?

those are nice, imo they stick out just enough so you dont soot up your bumper, we have problems with my friends z running mega rich with test pipes sooting up his bumper, its a pain detailing his car(s)
