Welded on midpipe/catback
Anyone have this done? The dealership that has worked on my families cars forever took a look at my exhaust leak for me. They completely took it off from where another shop had messed things up putting it on, and completely redid everything for me, but there is still a leak. They said that there was a problem with a clamp from the x-pipe to the catback or something like that.
The possibly good part though, they offered to weld my mid pipe to my catback for free. They said that since I had already had my car in there for work, they would just go ahead and do this for me for free.
My question is, will this affect my catback/mid pipe at all? Is it a bad idea? Anyone with any experience with this please let me know ASAP because they want my car in Friday to get this done.

RE: Welded on midpipe/catback
I wouldnt recommend having them weld the SLP X to the Stingers for 2 reasons.
1. if it still leaks after that, you've got two welded exspensive exhaust components.
2. if it does fix it, okay, but if you EVER want to change out your exhaust, or buy a new stang and want to keep the parts, you'll have to cut them to get them. and thats no good
