Depends on what has been done previously. Are you going to DIY or have the service done by a shop?

I want to weld new tips onto my 3.0i... Do I have to remove bumper or is it better to cut off exhaust and put it back again?

The risk is fire or melting something and the gas tank is nearby. Your call.

If the airbag is in decent shape I would do it.

Eh it doesnt leak i dont think...i pumped it up yesterday it was rock hard.
If theres no air in and compres the bag theres alittle bit of pitting or little aging near the bottom..
I can take a picture if needed.

But i just dont want it to explode, does the gas shock take weight off the airbag or does the airbag do most of the holding?
The gas stut just to smooth it out?
