I pretty much got my the exhaust I want narrowed down all the parts I plan to get. Flowmaster muffler, dual tailpipes and 3.5 in tips. I was wondering if anybody has installed there own exhaust, and if so, how hard was it to do?
And did you weld it on or just clamp it on, cause im probaly gonna just clamp the thing on. I don't really wanna pay a shop a ton of money to to do so when I can do it for a lot less. Plus I like to do my own mods, makes me fell cool! LOL

Thanks

Overall the process is simple. Make sure you put some WD-40 or PB Blaster on the old nuts that hold the clamps on. That will save you some bloody knuckles and a few cuss words. I have never done duals before but i dont think they would be much harder than just a single. I would say put it on yourself and use the clamps at first and if you decide later on to get it welded, weld it. If YOU put the system on and have them weld it, i would assume it would be fairly cheap route. just my .02

i did that exhaust and it wasnt bad at alll granite... i had torches and stuff but have a buddy help and its easy use a sawzall get the old one out and go from there.... what i did on my exhaust is i clamped it.. but i ran 1inch weld on every joint.... to hold it together... just soo if i did need take the exhaust off for some reason i could and not need to hack it to pieces... if i remberbet ill take a few pics of my exhaust for ya. i did the flow master with 3.5 inch tips

If you use clamps, use band clamps. The seal better, look better and dony crimp the pipe.
