Is OEM Exhaust 3 Or 4 Pieces?
looking at the entire oem exhaust does it fall off in 3 or 4 pieces? from the pic im assuming 4 the cats, xpipe, connecting, and muffler?
or is it just 3 pieces cats and xpipe welded together, connecting, and muffler hence slip on exhaust systems only being connecting and muffler...

3 pieces:
X-pipe Left muffler Right muffler The connecting pipes are part of the each muffler assembly. That's why you have to cut them for certain aftermarket exhausts.

wait what .
ok the connecting pipe and muffler are connected hence the slip on exhaust systems being 100% bolt on. now is the cat and xpipe connected or does the xpipe fall off the cat? by cat i mean the front pipe with the 02 sensor.

ok... entire section 1 is together and comes off without cutting. now are you guys sure that part 3 and 2 are not connected as well and that part 2 can be replaced (xpipe)?
