Every aftermarket catback we have ran has needed to be welded when added long tubes or vice versa. The connection points just don't match up with the catbacks.

Just a quick note, I believe someone posted where they tested the idea that the crush pipe was a “major point of restriction” , removed it, performed testing and found zero differences in power. I understand flow dynamics and same distance smaller diameter means increased air flow through that area to compensate, but this restriction doesn’t seem to be robbing the system of power. Can someone else confirm this or am I remembering the thread incorrectly?
