Can I weld a mild steel bung into HKS DP?

[Red Dragon]

I'm not sure what material the HKS DP is made from, but the AEM WB sensor came with a mild steel weld-on bung. Anyone know if the HKS DP is mild steel? Also, whats my best (cheapest) bet for getting a shop to weld this on? Should I just go to a muffler shop? About how much should I plan on spending to get it welded?

Thanks

best way to tell is if a magnet sticks to it- its steel. if it doesnt- its alum.

yes mild steel is fine, expect $30 or so to have it done. if its off the car its cheaper of course.

muffler shop is your best bet. be sure you clean and hit the welds w/ some paint so it doesnt rust.

OR if the magnet doesn't stick its 300 series stainless or titanium.

If its stainless (which it prolly is) its ok to weld that bung. It will rust though so watch out....
