Well technically you don't need a tig to do stainless steal.. a mig with a proper gas combination can do the trick.. However it is all about the setup and care in how to use it.
The reality is tig is really cheap these days with modern electronics.. Eastwood has one for $700, that can do pretty much everything. Even if you have the best equipment if you don't try it out and experiment.. it is still useless. I recommend Eastwood because they do stand behind their tools, even though they are from China and not as flashy as a Miller or Lincoln.
I just dont get what make a "performance" exhaust shop is these days. Unless they have a Faro setup, CNC mandrel bender, that can do 8ft tubes in one go, they are all the same (that is either order from outside or piece things together).

Muffler Man in Burnaby was recommended by a lot of members waaaay back in the day because they simply "did the job" for a reasonable price and fast. This takes us back to the most basic principles of cars:
Fast + Cheap =/= Reliable
Reliable + Cheap =/= Fast
Fast + Reliable =/= Cheap
Over the 10+ years the old skool RS guys have been here, I don't think anybody took their cars to Muffler Man for "performance exhaust" work. It was normally to weld on a cat for Aircare, or to patch up a muffler. Nothing like mounting HKS or Greddy exhausts and what have you. It's stuff that nobody really cares about. So please, if you want any exhaust work done and you care about your car, take your car and parts to a reputable shop. Muffler Man is the Superstore of exhaust shops.
