I had flanges and really liked them. Welding would provide you with some of the best sealing, but wouldnt allow you to take the exhaust off as you wish. I dont know how often you would want to take it off but i like my options. Mine is currently clamped with band clamps and ive had them come off over speedbumps and at 7k rpms, however it is rigged thru a 15 dollar ypipe that i had to make fit.

You really need a couple joints for when you need to take it off.... I know when I have my 3" Duals I ran Flowmaster ball & socket type joints at the header making that separation painless and then I could drop my entire duals just by undoing exhaust brackets....
On a Y-CatBack setup I would think you need joints at the headers and then at least one going over the axle...

Yea they sure wont just slide back...not without something being loosened...whether its the header or the mid pipe etc... something has to give the slack..
