Default Stupid question about tips.

Can these hooker catback tips be welded. They have the adjustable tensioners to use with the catback but I'm putting them in place of my stock tips and hoping to have them welded into the stock pipes. This can be done right?

Yes there is no reason they couldn't be. Well unless they are stainless and the shop doesn't have a Tig welder, but I am sure they are not.

I just checked the website and the tips are stainless. I've had stainless tips welded on by this guy on another vehicle before so I guess this solves my dillema. Thanks everyone!
