I've been getting a consistent silver/gold color using 25 cfm Argon through a gas lens w/ #6 cup. I wouldn't say I move fast though... I usually slow down and take my time.

With a gas lens you shouldnt need that much argon flow, you're probably just wasting gas. Ill be down in the 15-20 cfm range and its perfect. You also shouldnt need to do multiple passes on SCH 10. You want to go as fast as possible so you keep your heat input down, this is especially important on stainless steels. It doesnt help that youre doing multiple passes either, that much heat input is causing weak welds, mainly at the HAZ. Welds dont normally fail at the weld itself, but at the heat affected zone, theres a reason for that.

I move as fast as possible (as possible meaning full penetration) and use solarflux type B on all my stainless and Ti welds. I also learned a ton about setup and technique from a 40 year experienced TIG welder while working at Lockheed and was continually x ray tested.

Honest opinion, everyone I know in the professional exhaust fabrication business would laugh if you ever told them youre using pipe. It does work though, but its not a race car exhaust or anything.

Props on the innovation though! not a lot of people around here doing this kind of thing. Nice work Mike!!

edit: and oh I dont think 6-700rwhp is far fetched at all.
