I mean the tube is very thick for an exhaust. Not that it matters, itl last longer and move less at that thickness. Check your penetration before.grinding it off. Have a feel inside the tube see.your weld has gone.through. It looks far too cold to have penetrated though, should've ground a channel into the joins. If you have no penetration and you grind off the weld itl make it much weaker and prone to cracking.

Definitely would've ground a channel, purged it and tig welded it but like you said atleast you tried

Yeah ive ground the meeting ends into a v so the weld will sink into it looking inside the tube has a burn on it where the welds are an yeah I thought thicker can only be good if it cracks oh well more welding needed
