I made all of my IC piping with the $120 one, and I'm making my exhaust with it too. Once you get some practice with it you an actually make some nice looking welds

Just a fyi, if you are going to buy a cheap mig wirefeed, be sure it has gas hookup because fluxwire blows. JB weld has sexier welds than that birdshit.

ya but it was only 100 bucks!!! :-p
