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?

Get a good welder. I have an Eastwood in 110v it gets the job done good too. It was cheap and so far effective. If I did it again I would get a Hobart at the least from Tractor Supply or ARC3. There is a clamp with the bung already welded. I am going this route to make it easier on me because I am fat and do not have a lift to get under my car to weld the way I want. It is part# 30-2355-300 for 3". A lot of places have it for $40
