Default can i bolt up a cat back system

i heard there was no welding if i install a cat-back system, my local shop can't get to it until monday, so i guess i'll have to do it. It installs through the factory hanger mounts doesn't it, and bolts up to the midpipe?

Yes. Although the stock system is very hard to get off.

Its not that hard. Just cut the pipe at the end of the muffler, spray the bolts to the midpipe with some PB blaster then spray the rubber hangers as well and everything will come right off.

If you have a lift then that's very easy. There's not much room under our cars. Even when you jack it up it's hard to manuever underneath it. But good luck.

Yea cat backs are not that hard, just getting off the stock cats are tricky, but after that its just a matter of bolting it on.

Are you kidding me? It takes 10 mins if you have the right tools and know what you're doing.
