Look in the fab forum... it's been discussed there in great detail. Summary: clean, clean, and clean some more, use the right tungsten, backpurge the tube, and don't overheat it as you will displace the alloying materials from the weld zone resulting in oxidation/corrosion down the road. If you get the tube joints perfect you can often simply fusion weld the components together (no filler rod.)

well ive started this project... its for a parsche 911.
well see how it handles a few dyno runs and regular street use. I know that the set up will be pushing enough power to get some of the tubing glowing hot.
I back purged most of the welds and i have to say it makes for a much nicer weld. 321 isnt quite as forgiving as mild steel.
