HELLO ! I noticed that your self-darkening welding mask does not have an external protective glass, so you will damage the self-darkening filter. When welding with an electrode, it would be a little easier to weld with a type 6013 or Mol 309 type electrode. But otherwise, you welded it together beautifully.
I've been a welder for 45+ years and I would have had a hard time welding a rusted out tailpipe like that and making it look good with a little stick welder and 6011 rods.
The 2 Part Appoxy JB weld would have worked also and dries in 30 mins, but you need the pack thats got 2 tubes and you mix together and it Turns Grey. And just rub it on with finger with a rubber glove on.
yes, you suck at welding, however you got it stuck back so good on ya. btw, would have been easier to do if you removed the muffler and pipe and did it in the comfort of the shop.
Given the conditions...you did excellent! Would you recommend that a stick welder or a flux core welder for car exhaust? and are you happy with that welder in this video so far?
Flux core is only easier if you have a machine with settings low enough for thin materials. My Campbell Hausfeld for instance only has two settings. Way too hot and way way way too hot. It would burn through that tissue paper exhaust instantly even on low range.

flux core works great, turn it down and spot stitch it on to keep from burning through
