I have done the welding of the exhaust on the LS based engines. They are made of cast steel not iron, I have had no issues of cracking later.

That's good to hear. I did some quick research on it and it seems that the general consensus is if they don't crack when cooling than they should be fine. It's definitely a more pocket friendly option.
