Got a question for anyone who's dealt with an inconel exhaust system
(commonly used w/rotary engine installs, in this case a race engine).

Can

stainless steel be easily welded onto the inconel? This question has

come

Never tried it myself but according to Burns Stainless stainless can be
welded to inconel.

I've been told to think of Inconel as a special kind of Stainless Steel.  When I
couldn't locate a 3" diameter 45 degree Stainless elbow for my exhaust, my welder
located one made of Inconel and welded it to a straight section of Stainless 421.
So far, so good.
