DRM LT headers - bolt on?
Check this out:

The link says bolt on, but they look like long tube headers. Can they bolt on or not?

Re: DRM LT headers - bolt on? (Miles in Michigan)
I don't recall them needing any welding for the install. Long tubes that bolt to the cats. 15,000 trouble free miles on mine and lots of high speed high heat situations. 19 rwhp and 19 rwt gain (dynojet) on my car when it was otherwise stock (some of that was due to mine being an '01 with precats which were eliminated by the long tubes). :D

There's no way those bolt right on to the cats. The cats are attached to the intermediate pipe via welds, not nuts or bolts. The only true bolt-on system are the FLPs. I'm willing to bet there is a set of flanges that are welded to the front of the cats that bolt to the collectors, like the TTS LTs do.
