My current exhaust is a 4 bolt "bolt-on" can.

Finding a decent cheapish after market one is proving to be a pain in the rectum.

Is its possibly to say.. angle grind the bolt on bit on the actual pipes and get a slip on can and just weld that on?

Is that too drastic? Laughing

Why do you need to weld it?

Its exactly what you have to do with the SV IIRC, and the clamp should be sufficient.
