actually, brazing has seen a sudden resurgence in favour...ask any panelbeater. they all using brass wire in the migs! less damage to the steel, softer, and well...iunno... fine for anything non-structural.
for a 2 stroke exhaust... prob best to get at least the flange/header welded, first few joins in brass/bronze and then silver solder the rest with aerosol can thickness. easy to work, dont blow holes in it, can use way thinner stuff than welding, blah blah. never seen a two stroke exhaust glowing.
my only gripe with having done it for a few years (brazing) is not having gotten a healthier supply of carbide and silver solder for myself...mmm, nice cadmium containing stuff that flowed....oh how it flowed! plumbing stuff just doesnt compare
really need some for this induction heater im making...ironic, isnt it... and i really dont want to melt down any cutlery just yet... sigh... expensive stuff.
