trust me, it is worth the money to have it welded...I have the same setup and I coudln't get the clamps tight enough to hold it on without crimping the pipe.

pretty big tires for that d-35


yes weld it up, but you may want to consider a small section of flexible pipe to allow movement without cracking or kinking if you were to drag it on something.

i was quoted about 75 to have it put on, does that seem too high?

I'm a fan of welding. Bolt on exhausts just look cheap for some reason.

One of my buddies did it for free because I told him we would go wheeling if it was on. I had it on already and bolted with the clamps but it slid loose and was leaking bad. It only took him about 25 minutes to do it. I just went on a wheeling trip today and everyone seemed to like the sound.

I was going to buy a muffler, new cat, with 2.5 out and then do it all myself... but when cruising around looking for something I ran across a midas went inside and an hour later left with a 40 series, new cat, and all bent and welded 2.5 pipe for 300...

Im happy with it...
