It should slip over the headers. You use band clamps to secure them. If they are welded, you'd have to cut/re-weld if you ever wanted to remove them. They should have come with all the necessary clamps, if not, you need to call TSP.

You can clamp them, but they will most likely leak. Ive tried everything, and ended up needing to put flanges on the the collectors and tsp piping.

I like to weld a 3 bolt flange on the headers and x-pipe and just bolt it together, that way it is easy to remove. Slip fit FTL!!
