This is true.
I bought Junior a $500 welder from Harbor Freight and it has been used to make many different exhaust setups in the year that we have had it.
Here he is putting together a new 3 inch tail pipe section together with the new muffler.
Its basically him welding for the second time ever.

Also a tip for you.
If you want your headers to tuck up in the frame rails, use a set from a car.
They tuck way up in the frame.
My 2wd truck has a set from a 1968-72 Nova on the big block and you can see here how high up in there they are.
This photo is looking straight on at the chassis.

To see the collector, you have to really want to see it up in there.

And yes, this is a temporary exhaust in the photo.
I am going to buy an aftermarket transmission crossmember that has the clearance built into it before I put the 3 inch exhaust under there.
The flex pipe is a simple way to make the transition from header to pipe without to much expense.
