I need to make some intercooler tubing for my F350 so I bought a kit of mandrel bent tubing from Amazon, it's 304 stainless and apparently around 16ga thick... so, which method would you use to weld it? I have a welder (Titanium Unlimited 200) capable of scratch start TIG, MIG and spool gun along with a bottle of 75/25 and straight Argon, have a spool of stainless solid wire and some stainless filler rod. I did a little looking and apparently for MIG straight Argon isn't ideal but fine for TIG and some people just make filler rod out of a twisted pair of stainless MIG wire...
So, thoughts? I haven't TIG welded yet but I'm sure I can figure it out, I'm used to stick welding and going slow and have plenty of material to practice on... leaning toward TIG but spool gun sounds easier if it would work fine...
