Sorry if this is this in the wrong place/already been covered! Tried to research it but couldnt find much info on the subject. I'm planning on cutting on the middle exhaust silencer and welding a straight pipe in its place, wondering if anyone has done it or can tell me it's a bad idea!? I have...

I'm hoping that they are of better quality at the joints, (intercooler, imf/egr etc) more of a snug fit, and won't wear out and keep poping off like the standard ones do! Iv heard the 3pc forge kit is good, but the darkside reduces the number of joints as well as hopfully not poping off, just...
