How do you like that flowmaster 10? And is that your paint burning off after the exhaust tip?

Second sentence of the description;
"Add gas components for full MIG welding with shielding gas later on."

Get on Tractorsupply.com. They have some of the best welders (Lincoln, Hobart, and Miller specifically ) in great starter packages for under $400. (which is fairly cheap) Oh and they are all gas ready.
