Correct, 3 clamps. No welding required.
One of the top muffler shops in Brooklyn quoted me $150 to do the mpe install, your mechanic took you for a ride with the $250 with such a sloppy job. Sorry

Correct, 3 clamps. Whoever sold you the MPE probably kept it to put the stock muffler back on since it was cut.

Took it to a highly recommended guy 30 min from me, he did an excellent job , tips look great and it sounds 10x meaner . And even though the clamp would have made it easier to take off and sell down the road, I'm very happy with this mans welding job. Getting a full refund from the butcher tomorrow lol
