Ordered the Magnaflow 16614 setup from Hottexhaust.com last wednesday night, and received today. Pretty psyched about getting it on the truck. I do have a question for all you stainless steel exhaust owners, or anyone who knows about welding it. I know that stainless welding wire would be best for welding the system together, but are there any big risks in premature rusting using regular soft steel welding wire? Has anyone used non-stainless welding wire to seal up their exhaust? Heck, i don't even know if exhaust shops use it. I live in the upper midwest with all the salty roads in the winter, and don't want my new exhaust to rust in any way. If there is a good chance of the weld joints rusting with soft steel welding wire, i will try and find someone with a stainless welding setup.....hate to see the cost of that! Any input would be appreciated. Will be posting pics when install is done.

 

It will rust. Why ruin a nice SS system with crap wire?
