I'm sure someone that knew how to weld could make that kit work. I wouldn't get it if you do not know how to weld or the fundamentals of welding. Why not take it to a weld shop in your area and get good quality welds that will hold up?

This one's easy.NO it won't work.
It would be OK for emergency repairs to lightweight parts but for anything serious you would need an Oxy-Acetylene set.A can of propane just doesn't have enough gas to do much with.
You can get a kit that allows you to solder aluminum but I have never been able to get it to work.I am also a great gas welder and the only things I can't weld is the crack of your ***,a broken heart,or aluminum.
A TIG welder is the only way to go.A good TIG operator can make welds that are too pretty to dress.

I agree with Chopper, a tig is the way to go. Shouldnt cost too much to have a local shop do it. A mig would work with aluminum wire and a shielding gas, but even if you know someone with a mig, you still have to rent the bottle.

Ok thanks guys. Actually last night a guy at a welding shop saw my car and was talking to me... I told him about my piping and he is going to do it for free
