Our 1-1/2" s/10 304L elbows are $5.05/ea, our 1-1/2" s/40 304L are $7.43/ea (this price has not changed since 2007), and our mild steel 1-1/2" s/40 elbows are $7.75/ea

Thanks for the recommendations guys!

yes, you "can". but it will be contaminated. it will have a brownish color since it will not be properly shielded.

Yes, you can weld stainless with your setup. When I fabbed my exh. the place I bought my stuff from was out of ms bends and sent me stainless instead, so I fabbed my exh out of aluminized ms and stainless and welded it with flux core wire. The welds turned out great, you just need to paint them or something to keep the weld from rusting.
