Who do you get to install an exhaust?

Excuse the ignorance.

So, say someone buys an aftermarket exhaust (Rogue, Eisenman, etc...), what kind of place do you take it to if you want it installed professionally? Midas?

Tuner type place?

either of those would work,

or you could do it yourself with jackstands.

isnt it better to weld the new exhaust than just clamp?

it's recommended that you weld, so there's less chance of an exhaust leak. just take it to a muffler place you can trust.

Seriously, take it to a chian like Midas and they could do it? DO they weld?

Yes Midas has the capabilities to weld.

your fine if you just clamp it. If you clamp it there shouldnt be any leaking. you could always just tack weld a spot if your worried about the muffler shifting of you. I just had soem guy tack one spot so in the future the clamp wouldnt loosen or anything.
