Default MagnaFlow X-pipe Question!
Are these X-pipes designed to be welded or clamped on? I have a MIG welder, so welding isn't a problem, but I just want to know involved in the installation before I buy one. Thanks!

I believe clamped. At least, that's how mine was done.

The Magnaflow X-pipe is designed to clamp.
I prefer to weld, that's what I did.

It's designed to be clamped but can be welded also.
