I think its just cheap steel. Mines in a 5 gal. pal in my garage. I forgot to put it on after a thremostat replacement disaster so i just stuck big bolts in both ends. Its pretty thin but you could MIG it I think.Originally Posted by Strugglebucket

I think it may be stainless cause stainless turns gold in color when it's heated. I know you can weld to it... I've welded the pipe shut with my flux wire - mig when I removed the egr from the carb manifold..

most stainless is non-magnetic be a good test.Originally Posted by A20A1

It's plated steel. You should be able to weld it.
i'm pretty sure it's stainless because it's not magnetic and it takes forever to cut

took me 2 seconds to cut with a sawzall. went thru like a hot knife thru butter.Originally Posted by Strugglebucket
i think it has to be some type of metal that won't rust with heat torture. prolly like its been said before, stainless or some type of treated steel.
