So if I want to retain the stock
Exhaust but swap out the muffler for maybe a FlowMaster or MagnaFlow do I need to weld anything?

Or does the muffler use clips? I just haven't gotten a chance to lift my car yet, getting a new jack next week. As long as I get one that is the same size should I just be able to take it and swap out?

I just want a slightly better sounding maybe louder sound from the engine. Any experience with which is the best muffler to swap over to? I'm overwhelmed with all the options.

welding will be needed. it connects at the frontpipe and the rest is back is basically 1 piece you can only unbolt the driver side muffler.

Could you post a video of sound? I hate the video magnaflow has on YouTube it's terrible and has music on it.

And is that not the stock piping on it right?

I'm just learning how it all works and what goes where so bear with me.

Wait so what did you have done? Got rid of the resonator and put 2 magnaflows in place of the mufflers?
Yes and also the front pipe, that connects to the cat/downpipe.

Where did you get the rear diffuser?
Ebay. You will need to cut some of that sheet metal if you don't want the piping to hang. If you look under the back of the car you'll see what I mean
