Um, no. Coloration indicates a good weld. No reason to remove the coloration when once the car is ran everything will turn a nice color anyways as its stainless steel.

Give us your car for a test dummy.

i dont know if coloration indicates a good weld...being its that color because of the heat....although the welds do look really good....either way once its on a running car the whole manifold will be that color anyways...

pretty nice mani's

That looks good but it will all change back as soon as it gets hot. that was designed for use on Stainless that never sees exh temps.

Coloration of a weld is good. A weld with zero color or that looks black shows contamination of either material, filler, or the tungsten. Again, color = good.

So glad people that have no idea or experience are commenting here, typical!

No color indiciates the weld was either welded to hot or has contamination in it. Heat is irrelevant to the coloration.

no experience ...hahahaha

coloration comes from clean, continuous welds...and if you continuously weld...it gets hot...which forms the color!

but what do i know about welding....

"coloration comes from clean, continuous welds...and if you continuously weld...it gets hot...which forms the color!"

if coloration doesnt come from heat....where does it come from??? the metal...no...

Ok now kids, that's enough. This is the tech section. Let it stay that way please. Go play rough in the run your mouth section. That's a far bigger play ground.

And Nick, they look marvelous.
