RIV: NAPA has the parts I need to replace the system, but i'm assuming they need to be welded together?...which is something I can't do. Hence the kit....
I didn't do anything from the cat to the front. But if the connections are male/female you should be able to do it with clamps alone. The kit I got did not come with clamps. I have a welding machine, but it was around 0 degrees when I installed the kit and I just couln't see the benefit of welding. I was also thinking of swapping a performance muffler on there at some point, and since all I did was clamp the muffler, I can do that if I want. Just remember, if you weld on, you'll need to burn off. btw,I checked today and the exhaust system is completely solid, nothing loose at all. So the clamps will hold. It's just personal preference whether you weld or not.
