Stock system is a SS 409 blend I believe.
If you have any plans driving the car on the streets I would not even consider removing the mufflers.
It not only sounds extremely loud, but it's a horrible sound as well.

As far as welding to SS, a GOOD SHOP can do it properly.
The problem is finding a good shop.
Chances are that the welds will not be done correctly and will rust out over time.

What?... no mufflers sounds awesome, but yes probably too loud for street use.
