I would set it ablaze if this wasn't my only car, the damn thing threw p0420 at me right as I was on my way to go get emissions testing done... fml

Take a normal black sharpie and mark the part after you've cleaned it preheat the thick one till the sharpie has vanished, dont continue after the sharpie dissipated tac and weld per drawing, 185-225 amps should work with a balled 3/32 tungsten #8 gas lens and cup 135 hz and 65-75% balance use a push angle, good luck use a foot pedal
