This is going to be my first welder. What's a decent welder on a budget? I just want to do some basic welding, like an exhaust.

110v please.


Also, that being said, I need to weld O2 bungs into my new headers. Should I weld them in before mounting the headers? Is there a bolt on option that would be easier?

I think you're going to want to test fit where you want the bung with the headers on the car first, to make sure the O2 will clear the floor and other parts.

That's what I was thinking. Honestly, I'll probably just get two no weld bungs. So much easier.
