Getting ready to weld a vband flange to the hot side and need to know what others are doing for the best result. Got a small miller but might get this done by a pro.

i wouldn't bother preheating a v-band, there's no benefit of preheating something so thin. Not really any benefit to Tig in this application besides appearance, though Mig can have a very nice appearance as well. It alll depends on who ever welds its skill.
I guess I should of said preheat the housing you are welding onto, For sure not the V-band, it will heat up in a few seconds once you start welding it.
My self I have personally mig welded 3 of them and had zero issues, make sure the metal is clean and preheat it. Then again I have sent 3 f them out to be tig'd by a friend. The one I am going to run on my car is going to be a tig one.
I am no welder personally and have no idea where locally that could do it. Wanna send mine to your friend along with yours??
Cheaper is not always better. Someone that has done this before would be nice.
