I've got a stainless flange but mild steel piping for my exhaust. Want to weld using mig and steel wire.

Will it work / hold? I've read it will rust, but I'm ok with that as it is only temporary / need to last a few weeks

Yes it will weld perfectly fine as it is still a steel, but as you already know it will rust, nothing a little paint can't sort out

Like Ben said, will work perfectly. Just won't look as nice.

Like gramps always says, nothing like a good rough strong cheap job. Perfect finishes are for show cars :P
