Default what about Rust issues? Isn't the whole stock kit in stainless? are the

parts they re-weld all stainless, including the weld?

I'm in snow country with salt etc. don't want to pay extra for tips that will rust off...

i am not sure what you mean by the weld being stainless steel?!?

the adapters were welded to vibrant tips and i used clams to stick the adapters to the stock exhaust.

Default Re: I didn't know...

they do... i was surprised as well...
but the mechanic showed me the Audi clamps that are part of the stock exhaust which connects the tail pine to the muffler.

considering that i took his advice and used clamps... if they weaken i can always go back and get the tips welded.
