Cheap welder recommendations for brackets and exhaust?

[Drewski23]

Hope i don't get too banged up for posting this here, this section gets much more traffic and im sure alot of guys do their own fab work.. or they may be interested in attempting it.

Do you have any recommendations for a cheap welder? From the bit of research ive done i hear a tig welder would be good for things like brackets and exhaust work. I know there is alot more to welding than meets the eye and i am willing to learn but im trying to see how feasible getting one of these rigs would be.
