Many performance upgrades, custom modifications or repair of expensive automotive components requires welding for a proper outcome and permanent result. Our welding services include:

TIG Welding (Aluminum)

  • Cylinder head repair
    • Corrosion of coolant ports
    • Combustion chamber damage
    • External cracks or impact damage
  • Transmission or bell-housing modification or repair
  • Supercharger or turbo intake tubing
  • Radiator or inter-coolers

Note: We also utilize pre and post heating for all aluminum component welding in our 1200E oven

TIG Welding (Stainless Steel)

  • Complete mandrel bent exhaust systems
  • Performance muffler installation (instead of using clamps that eventually leak and allow shifting of exhaust)
  • Aftermarket or performance exhaust system repair, cracks or broken hanger brackets
  • Installation of performance catalytic converters into stock systems including new-style metallic substrate catalytic converters

Note: Welding with mild steel to 304 stainless or even O.E. low grade stainless alloy exhaust systems will only crack again which is why we tig weld all stainless steel exhausts. Back purging the exhaust pipes during the weld process is also employed.
