Electric welding on an HHR

Electric welding on an HHR
I want to install a new muffler, but can't justify the charges by the muffler shops just to weld a muffler on. Muffler $75.. Install $125-$200. I have welders and can weld my own muffler on.
My question is: What effect or problem can be caused by electric (Mig/TIG/Arc) welding on the exhaust?
I know on some vehicles, you must disconnect the battery before welding or you will damage the computer. Do you need to do this on an HHR?

i welded on many cars without disconnecting the battery. i doubt the muffler shop would disconnect it either.

Had mine welded on by a muffler shop, they didn't disconnect anything. You would probably be okay to, being as how the exhaust hooks to the motor and it is definately grounded. Anything else though and I would disconnect it.
Oh, I'm lovin the Magnum above. Show some pics when done.
