No, no welding. Complete bolt on kit. I love it. Sounds deep and muscley at start up and when you're on it...but it's quiet enough for cruising around town and down the highway. No drone what so ever. I went out the side because for 1, I think it looks meaner 2, the rear exit look as far as I'm concerned it kinda played out and 3, I don't think they look right with our rear bumpers. If we had recesses cut into the bumper like the new Dodge P/U's do, a dual out the rear system would look more at home, but the way the stock bumper is set up now, it looks too much like an "after thought".

I saw your exhaust posting. Did you have to do any welding? Im considering the magnaflow 16520. Why did you do dual on the side instead of rear?
