Exhaust mod

I'm thinking of having this mod done and I have 28mm and 38mm ID stainless tube available.
The 28mm has a 2mm wall thickness and the 38mm a 1.5mm wall thickness.
I'd like to go large, but is 1.5mm enough to be welded easily?
How thick is the steel on the exhaust box pipes?

i did mine couple weeks ago. 38mm or 1.5" pipping on ap2 exhaust. stock intake/cat/resonator.
car sounds and drives/idle like oem in the lower 3500k rpm. the exhaust note kicks in after 3.5k rpm and all the way to 8k rpm.
i hate drone in exhaust.... driving on freeway at a steady rpm with a constant buzz is pretty annoying to me. this has none of that.
pretty much to sum it up.. this wont make your car sounds like an Italian v12 lol... it wont make your car sound like a fart can ricer. it does give you a bit more deeper note throughout the rpm for a more aggressive sound without being annoying.
worth the $100 bucks? Hell yes!

does anyone have a video with as accurate as possible 32mm pipe sound? I know videos can't really show what it really sounds, but I'm totally leaning towards the 38mm. I see so many people mention 32mm, I just want to hear it

Update for info' on 30mm MOD+DECAT
I've been loving my 30mm exhaust mod for quite a few months so decided to get a Decat fitted.
Unfortunately with the test-pipe it's now gone way too noisy/raspy, startup & around the 3k mark.
I have to change up before 3k otherwise it sounds bugle(y) like a boy racer in a Nova (see told you I was old) with a baked bean can exhaust.
Going back to my CAT as soon as poss' so I can play my PRM intake again
IMO the mod+PRM intake was just perfect, I could make it loud on command but still drive stealthily when I wanted to.
Oh well you have to try these things out eh? Just thought I'd share my experience in case anyone's thinking of doing similar.
Note: Obviously you may like this type of noise which is cool, I can understand that, it's just not for me anymore!
