Exhaust clamps reliable?
Hello,
I think I've settled on this exhaust for my car.
I'm curious as to if the supplied clamps are reliable in terms of building the exhaust.
I've never built one or had one installed other than to replace one on my old DD.
Would it be suggested that I get them welded together, or will the clamps suffice?
Thanks!

Yes the new style band clamps are way better, and a lot easier to install, then the older style u-bolt type. The only upgrade from the band clamps is to move to a v-band clamp like you'd see on turbo applications.
