Even the crappiest welds would keep the exhaust together. Headers are a different story - thermal stress is exponentially higher at that point in the exhaust.

Yeah, just tried some test pipes...butt dyno says gain, but shockingly, can't hear it that much. Probably going to fab some magnaflow 6" race cans on my Nismo. That huge can is the death keeper of sound....So sad....

For what its worth, I put a Megan Racing SS CBE on my '91 300ZX TT a couple of years ago and I love it. It has dual pipes from the CATs coming back to resonated H pipe and then straight back to the tin cans and tips. The pipes are 3" and the tin cans are 7" with 4.25" tips. Each tin can/tips have a double baffle that is removable, thereby making it essentially straight pipes off the CATs. With the baffles installed, it is as quite as the OEM exhaust. With the baffles out it has a nice low sound, but not real loud due to the TTs and the CATs. The system has been great for me & cheaper than OEM. ..... and it was bolt on with good fitment.
