Default TSP catted Y clamps or weld?

This might be a stupid question, but im just looking for some opinions. Im installing my TSP 1 7/8 LT's and 3" catted Y next weekend. I noticed their are a bunch of joints in the Y. Has anyone welded these joints together or everybody just use clamps. I would obviously mock it then weld it, but will this make install/removal imposible? Any pro's or con's to doing this? Sorry if this sounds dumb, just curious. Thanks for any imput.

I had mine clamped for a year or so. I ended up getting it welded to tuck it up for clearance and not have to deal with leaks. I have clamps at the headers and before the axle so removing it is still possible if I need to drop the trans again or something. I'd recommend welding so you don't have to deal with leaks or anything.

Thx for the input. I am leaning towards welding it for the exact reasons you did
