309 is what you want to use.

You could use inconel 625 if you really wanted to but 309 is the right material for the job.

Silicon bronze would work too.

I will second the 309. I have used it before with success on exhaust. At work we use 316 and it seems to hold up well but the manifolds we weld there just flow water and are not subject to much heat.
