Default X-pipe install ?

I was thinking about getting a bassani x-pipe. Is welding required for the installation or does it use clamps or something else?

i bought one from superchargers4less.com its the off road xpipe but this ones nice no cutting or welding bolts on to stock manifolds or shorty headers and goes to tailpipes. w/ the o 2 sim being $85/ and full xpipe was $550 after shipping it was under $700 totallly worth it car sounds so bad with this system. def recommend it. havent got to track w it but my roomate has a 01 mustang cobra and i noticed i pulled a little harder at 60+ mph to 100. also when my car was reving down i heard a tinny rattle and thought is was cats(on stock system) put this on got rid of it right away.
