eisemann race exhaust install

hey guys,
just bought a used eisemann race exhaust from kevblah and i'm picking it up friday. is this system able to be attached with a pipe clamp, or does it need to be welded? id imagine this would be a pain to weld onto the pipe while the exhaust was still on the car. i'm hoping i can get clamps for this.

I recently bought one too from another member on this board, and yes: you can use clamps to mount it... but welding would be a better method from what I've been told.

Getting mine from UPS next Tuesday

Either/Or would work. I would go with the welding method. Any decent exhaust shop could do it for you. I would think it would cost around $50 at the most. Clamps would work also, but you will most likely need to get a pipe expander in order to make it a slip fit, with the clamp around that. Most of the chain stores (Autozone at least) has free loaner tools. This is an easy tool to use- slip it in the pipe, put your ratchet on one end and start cranking.
