The main thing is to practice. I eventually bought my own small 110V MIG welder for random metal work. Its more than paid for itself in exhaust work alone.
Did you confirm that the manifold is stainless? I've seen some thing claiming it is and others claiming it isn't.

Did you use stainless welding wire?
