Weld away! My muffler delete pipe is welded in place... wasn't planning to reinstall the muffler any time soon.

No need to disconnect the batts, but I suppose it couldn't hurt.

When I had stock exhaust I was able to weld in a delete pipe with a old lincoln 220v buzzbox and a 7018 rod. burned it in one spot then back off the heat and sealed her up.
