Yeah that looks like a great little mig welder. The only thing I would suggest again would be an auto darkening helmet, Home Depot has decent ones for under $100; and also a pair of welding pliers. Lincoln makes those too, they are handy for cleaning splatter from the nozzle, changing collets, you can hammer with them, cut wire etc...
That welder will handle up to 1/8" steel. The exhaust components for the most part are much thinner than that, aside from flanges and the tips which on our cars are stainless steel I believe.
It's possible to weld stainless with that welder you would need to change the spool of flux core wire to a spool that can be used for stainless or whatever material you want to weld.
Oh and lastly safety gear... Gloves, either a jacket or sleeves... Little molten balls of metal freaking hurt! I would suggest also wearing jeans and sneakers you don't care about cause its inevitable a little molten ball of metal will burn you or your clothes.
Oh and if you can find a metal supply company near you I would suggest buying a few pounds of scrap (what ever you plan to weld) or even going to a junk yard and picking up a junked muffler to practice welding on.
Check out YouTube for some how to videos on setting up your equipment and the basics of welding.
Good luck! Have fun!
