Default Install question on HKS Hi Power Exhaust

Hey guys,

I just bought an HKS Hi Power Exhaust and I was wondering if there is any welding involved with the installation, or is it all just bolt up? I was contemplating doing it myself, but if there is welding I would need to pay to have it installed. I did install my own Berk Hi Flows so I am not incapable of such an install. Just wanted a heads up to save time.

Thanks

mine required no welding. Took an hour to get the stocker off and new one on at my local exhaust shop.

The reason I said welding is because I didn't know if the hangers needed to be tack welded or something. I knew it was a bolt up. Thanks for the answers.

The hangers on new exhaust slide right into the existing bushings on the car.

*Hint: Make sure and use plenty WD-40 inside the rubber bushings and a flathead screwdriver to pry the opening wider. It'll make life alot easier...
