IF and I emphasize the if, it is welded it is a very low profile weld
(material is money and when you make hundreds of miles of the stuff a
low profile weld can save a lot of money). In mine you might miss it if
you didn't know it was there. You can usually feel it sliding your
finger around the inside of the tube as well, just don't forget to
de-burr it first. <:-))
