Default Talk to me about welding

Hi all,

I need to do some exhaust work and was thinking to try and fabricate it myself. I don't have a welder and have never welded before.

Usually I don't buy cheap tools but I cant see myself doing much welding in the future so I was thinking about getting a Ozito 120 Amp Mig welder from Bunnings along with some argon/Co2 and the relevant accessories (helmet, brush etc).

I will be welding 2.25" stainless. Is the above suitable or should I spend some more or a better machine (e.g. Cigwled inverter 185)? Should I try to learn to Tig?

Any help is appreciated.

Also, any recommendations for a good place to buy exhaust bends?
