Do we have any welding or exhaust experts here? I REALLY want to build this exhaust myself. I can get a universal steel exhaust kit that has all of the piping that I would need. But I'm brand new at welding and I'm wondering if flux core MIG welding is sufficient to build this exhaust? It's a stock 5.3 and I don't plan on building the motor with this exhaust.
I ordered two valved mufflers from Valvetronic Designs for my 2015 Tahoe LTZ. My plan is to chop the stock muffler and reroute the 3.5" exhaust from the flex pipe over to the vehicle centerline right behind the spare tire. I'm going to remove the spare (was going to do this anyway), add a Y splitter, route to the left and right Valvetronic muffler and then point those straight out the back. Each tip will have a second Y pipe with dual 4" burnt titanium tips.
(tips will exit the back similar to this, only I want my tips to stick out a little farther–maybe an inch)

Y pipe for the tips
