Thanks. I was concerned with burning through but I had a test piece of exhaust I was using to set the welder. Definitely getting penetration through the tube. Any higher, it melts the edges of the tube when trying to weld the two together. Hopefully I got it right. I did do a bunch of about 1 inch long welds to tack it together and keep heat down. Started out with just spot welds but that was taking a LONG time haha.
