i know you can MIG stainless and all that good stuff. i dont know if my friends MIG welder has a back purge or not. i also know that out of respect for him and his stuff, i dont want to toy around with his welder( cause hey **** can happen! )

Welding is welding, don't need an exhaust shop to do it. I get a local guy to do my aluminum welding (my TIG doesn't do aluminum), I buy him a coffee and give him $20 each time.
Also, remember that stainless is going to change shape a bit as it's welded (it pulls more than mild steel) so it's best to do it in pieces, don't tack them all together and finish weld at the same time, do all except the midpipe, then custom fit that and finish weld.
Good luck.

thats pretty much how i planned to build the exhaust! ill be starting with a bolt in metal core cat! then the mid pip will be mocked up and as far as the axle back i wanted to do a slip joint and use a v-band!
