Knowing a catback exhaust from flowmaster comes with plenty of clamps and a good set of instructions, I could install the catback myself using clamps with no welding.

However, I could have a professional do it for $150-$200, and they might do welding to prevent exhaust leaks and future problems. (Not sure if Midas would weld it or clamp it?)

With the risk of a possible exhaust leak, is it smarter to go with a professional at Midas who might weld it together vs. me clamping it together?

Thank you.

 

i would say that they will use the clamps. if you went to a custom exhaust place you could get it welded. they might if you ask them but im thinking they wont offer it to you. i put my Borla cat-back on myself little tougher without a lift but it can be done. the clamps with my kit worked well and with how popular flowmaster is im sure yours are just as good. i have checked if leaks and i dont have any. i think as long as you can tighten the clamps your fine. also if you do it yourself and have a leak you can have them weld it after its installed for less then having them do the whole thing since everything will be in place.

 

Thank you for the response, very helpful!

 

np maybe someone else can build on it. but alot of people here seem to do everything themselfs.
