I heard it's simply bolt-on... is this true or is any welding required? 
Also, my old MagnaFlow 14862 that "takes away" hp will be up for grabs soon! haha

Hmmm...I spoke to their dealer in Northern California and they state they recommend welding to avoid any leakage. Install isn't exactly cheap.

Welding is a good idea if you don't use reasonably good quality clamps. If the exhaust is designed right (there's no excess pressure in one direction or another) and you use at least "ok" clamps, you should be fine.
