They have a sensor going to them but all you need to do is bolt the wire to the chassis so it earthed

In which case no welding required, just buy a decat off of eBay- straight swap

Much cheaper secondhand- & you can still easily unbolt the midpipe from downpipe as/when required ;)

Non-resonated straight pipes also make the exhaust note a bit odd.....
