Default Welding

I didn't know where to put this. I'm looking for a welder to do 2 exhausts.

1. Tru-duals for 01 camaro SS
2. Header to turbo the Geo Tracker 4x4.

I welded one piece of medal in shop class in 6th grade got an A..
Other than That I have no idea how to weld is there a faq somewhere.
Also I have a lot of pipe to practice on.
What kind of welder would I need and be best to use in the above situations.
Thanks,
Nate

If you can't spell METAL, why do you think you can weld it??? LOL. J/K

Get a small 110v MIG welder with flux core wire. It'd be the easiest to learn/use and will work fine on thin metal like exhaust pipe. Look to spend somewhere in the $200-350 range. Check out Harbor Freight, they have some deals on wire welders.....good luck.

Medal=Metal I swear I'm smarter than this.

I didn't have time to re-read my post before I sent it, my bad. So a small 110v MIG welder. One more question does small circles pertain to the MIG welder as well?
