I suggest you by pass a muffler shop and go to a metal fabrication shop, especially if your material is stainless steel (as in the picture).

A few tasks you should do first, figure out what kind of material you want to weld. Just normal iron, stainless, titanium etc. What kind of finish you want or can live with? eg if you have a stainless exhaust does the blue / yellow coloring like most ricer exhausts do bugs you (if it does, you want to make sure the shop has a chamber and plenty of gas).

Look up the type of equipment AND gas you need. Then ask the shop you are interested in whether they are even equipped to do that.

Most muffler shops I see usually just have a stick weld.. works fine with cast metal.. not so much with more exotic one or even thick ones.. so best to figure out what you are trying to do and go from there.
