That's the thing, can you trust a cheap tig job? Even if the weld looks nice but it was not prepped / cleaned properly, you will get containments and it will rust. (stain-less means less likelihood of rust, not never), especially since there will be some kind of electrolytic transfer especially if you bolt on part of a replacement exhaust. Even looking at OP's "factory" weld, the weld on the driver side pipe didn't go all around the flange on the right side.
You want to save money and not charged by the hour?.. spend the $400 to get a Tig welder, DC model if you want to weld Al eventually. Practice on some scrap stainless steel cheap at $ stores and go at it.
