Cat-Back Exhaust: Bolt-on vs Welded
Hey, I'm looking into getting a Skunk2 exhaust very soon and I had a few questions about them:
1) are they bolt-on exhausts? 2)if they are, can you still weld them on? 3)do welded exhaust get more horsepower and/or sound better? Please lemme know, cause Im hoping to get this in like a week or two. Thanx in advance

I'd go bolt on, in case some thing breaks or if you change your mind/set up, you can easily replace em and not wait for a welder...:flash:

ONe more thing...you need that extra flex that bolts offer to keep your exhaust intact, especially on the flange. Welding that is a no-no...

Yeah its the most expensive cost with some of the lower power gains. But it looks nice.

Ive heard thermal is good for the money but personally I don't like the way it looks or sounds.

OK, now lets get technical. Do you guys know exactly how much horsepower the thermal, skunk2, and tanabe exhausts give. Cause on the Skunk2 site they said that their exhaust added like 8 hp on a 2002 Civic, and I figured that was a pretty good amount.
