I appreciate the advice. Most of my welding education was trial by error. I wasn't too far off on my flow rate. I settled on 20 CFH after trying everything from 5 to 35. That worked fine, especially for exhaust standards. I'll try taping all but one joint on the next project. I'm not sure on my bottle size, but you might consider it mid-size (3 feet tall including valve). It took a major hit, going from 1,500 psi to 500 psi with just the cat back and downpipe. You must go through a lot of argon at work. Good eye on the sanitary reducer. Looks weird, but it makes a reasonably smooth transition.
