Default Bought a cat... need help.

I just bought a carsound cat (2.5 by 2.5) and it almost looks like you have to weld this on! Theres just two pipes sticking out of the cat. do I need to weld flanges onto the end to bolt it on? Wouldn't be a problem to do so but just wondering now... Thanks in advance!

Well, if you got the weld in then lol, yep you gotta weld it.
Apparently no one told you about a bolt in??

Do yourself a big favor and get the bolt-in. If you ever have to change or remove anything you will regret welding the cat to the header and exhaust.

I was about to say, welding a cat is pretty sick. I mean, maybe stapling the tail or zip ties orsomething, but Welding?

Any muffler shop should be able to weld on flanges to make it a bolt-in piece on your car...
