Only if you don't know what you're doing.

Better to be there all day fixing a bad weld than spending 5 minutes chewing through $5 worth of cheap exhaust tubing.

I like them alot, they ride really well for this big of a tire,hardly any noise at all. The only thing bad so far was geting them balanced, it took alot of weight on a couple of them to balance. Not an issue just more than normal, maybe its the size of the tire.

If he grinds like he welds, the outcome is the same.

Well at least if he grinds a hole in the exhaust he knows how to weld the hole he made closed.

Honestly it's easier to blow out a hole in the tubing with a welder than it is to grind a hole through it, especially if you don't know how to set up the welder properly. Grinding is just trigger and pressure.

It's a vicious cycle, one that will end up in a 6" diameter bird poop bead.
