I'm assuming you got the 2.5" muffler. If so just get them to swap out the mufflers and you'll be set.

this is a personal opinion.... get it welded... nothing like being in busy traffic and the thing come undone... just to exchange mufflers i wouldnt hink would be much but it just depends on hwere you live... i got a new muffler, chrome tips, sido for 300 bucks... out the door... when i keep my foot out of it, it does get better mileage.... but man it sounds good when you kick it....
