    i've now test driven the car for 1000 miles under hard acceleration and not fallen apart yet,no issue with the downpipe.i will be completing the rest of the 3" exhaust today with a welder,so i will be taking down the dp and checking for any leak or damage.

      better to have tried and failed than never tried at all. and you havn't failed.

      brace it up well and i fee lthe welds will hold. ive seen worse hold up.
      braced with some heat wrap if all fail,atleast i have something to hold it together
      seriously,this weld is good and happy with the result.
      not bad for s learner

        Seems that you didn't use enough power, the seam hasn't melt properly..? What kind of weld did you use? Inverter or old transformer type? There is a huge difference between the types, a lot easier to weld stainless with a inverter.
