I was tinkering around yesterday and noticed the exhaust manifold on the drivers side has a small crack between the first and second cylinder. I know this isn't uncommon on these cars, question is, can I weld this back up with any success? I'm not sure what king of metal it is and could it be mig welded?
 
Yes, these can be welded. They're a cheap grade of stainless steel that must be tig welded. I take mine to the local Midas shop.
 
How much does a shop like Midas typically charge to look at the manifolds and weld up all of the holes?
 
I had a buddy MIG weld mine almost 2 years and 20,000 miles ago, but time will tell.
