x-pipe help???
I recently got my c350 2008 a magnaflow x pipe.....

Is it possible that back pressure can blow my headers and bolts?

They sawed off the resonator and i believe they just fit pipping over the x pipe and welded it to the other pipes. I was told they should weld clamps to it so it can flex and wont blow my headers? Can someone explain this for me...

Tired of receiving such double opinionated suggestions. Should i be worried about my exhaust now?..

I have never heard of that. I have had my x-pipe in for over a year and my headers are just fine and i also took out my secondary cats along with resonator.

Nothing to worry about. I've had it like this for over 2 years and going to 3rd winter with no issues.
