Default ebay welder

I'm looking to just be welding charge pipes and exhaust, what could i expect from this welder

i hear that flux core mig welders don't put out as nice of beads as mig welders that use gas?

17 available @ $99.99, people who want a welder should take advantage of this one. Might not be the best professional welder, but for what we do it'll work fine.

If you have a local Harbor Freight, this one: Mig 100 is a little bit better because it has more adjustment and goes to 90 amps. It ends up being around the same price if you don't have to pay for shipping. Just another option to consider.

yeah, actually mine goes up to 90 amps also, it looks the same as that one, but it's a different brand, either way, it's more than enough for charge piping and exhaust b/c i have to set it on the lowest heat setting...

No, that is not a replacement for gas, nor does it compare to what a gas welder would produce. Flux sucks, period, but it works.
