In all honesty, the best way to get better at welding is by *doing* not
reading.  Dont get me wrong, reading is great for initial settings and stuff
like that, but physically practicing, and practicing a LOT is the only way
to get better.  Get a lot of scrap and goto town on that before you attempt
the real deal, especially on exhaust tubing, its real easy to blow thru and
make nasty holes.

Another thing, if you can set up that welder with gas and non-flux wire, the
welding will come out much cleaner, flux core wire spatters a whole lot.
Good luck.
