    Please help me clear this up

    I am confused about the whole cat/collector box situation, can i NOT buy a decat pipe off ebay for my 2012 s1000rr and just unbolt the cat? is the cat welded to the downpipes meaning IF i buy decat i need to cut the cat from the down pipes and reweld the new one?? seems a lot of hassle ?
