Weld vs Clamp?

I've got an AWE Axel back exhaust coming in a few weeks. Like most axel backs, it comes with clamps to join it to the factory pipes. Should I have someone weld it vs use clamps?

No, just clamp, if you cut it between the dimples you can revert to OEM by just buying the OEM exhaust sleave.

Theres no benefit to welding.

Always clamp it, easy on and easy off, no real benefit of welding it on.
