I am a proud supporter of.... "Boycott Lapeer Dragway"...

 

I would assume he is concerned about using an arc welder since an arc welder uses electricity (basically the rod arcs with the exhaust pipe creating heat that welds the metal together). I've never welded an exhuast before and have wondered this myself but I have also never heard of anybody having problems with it. I would think as long as you disconnect the battery it should be fine. Maybe somebody with experience can comment.

I wouldn't use the ECM as the ground.


No problems as long as your ground is connected near the site of the weld.

 

Ive always unhooked the ground @ the battery before I weld. (habit that my dad ingrained in to me.) And have never had a problem. Mike

Just remove the PCM and unhook the battery. This takes all of about three minutes. I do it whenever there is welding to be done on my car.
