Default Can I install Xpipe & duals at home? Or is there welding involved?

A jack, 4 jackstands, a hacksaw, hangers, GT mufflers/midpipes, and xpipe.
Is that all I would need to install duals as a home project, or is there welding thata shop would need to do? I really don't want to spend the money to have them installed.

What do you think fellas?

Do you already have the hangers, GT mufflers/midpipes, and x-pipe? or is that your plan for what you want to get?

The only thing I'm missing are the hangers and the x-pipe. Will the GT mid pipes fit properly btw?

If you get the pypes x pipe you will not be able to do it at home. The shop I took mine too had to resize the pipes comming out of the catts because they were 2 1/4 and the x pipe was 2 1/2.

I hate to bump my own threads, but I need to know one thing...

Will the GT midpipes work with my setup, a Ford xpipe (cut at Y), and the two GT exhausts? ( I bought dual gt exhuasts, and gt midpipes for $70.00 off of craigslist)
