Default how do you change the exhaust tips on a GK?

I want to switch to a 4 tip (2 on each side) on my GK. I got under the car to see how they are installed and it looks like they are welded on. So does that mean a shop has to cut off the old ones and weld on the new ones or am I not seeing how to properly remove the old ones?

Never seen anyone with aftermarket tips, most people will at the least run a new axle back, come in a few varieties. But that is as close as i have seen to someone just changing tips!

Yep, cut and weld. Also, the bumper opening might not fit quad tips very well. Haven't looked too much at the 07+ Tib's rear bumper but on the 05 the tips would have to be tiny to fit 2 in each opening.
