Default weld or don't weld? (Corsa)

just got my corsa exhaust system and i was wondering if i should get it weleded on or not. it is a dailey driver and will likely have salt and snow on it so i don't want it get loose or leak. is it better to get it welded on or are the clamps good enough to prevent this?

if you ever want to mod your car again dont have it welded. have them weld on those connector or slip fits.

no weld.

those stainless steel claps from summit work great . i use them on my slip fits and i have no probs

I was gonna have my Dual/Dual welded, but after putting it on and seeing how solid those clamps are, I'm just gonna leave it at that. Plus, it's removable and/or adjustable if necessary.

Have it spot welded so the tips dont slip. Can still be removed later.

V-band for the win. 1 nut to remove it and it won't leak.

Like everyone said, don't weld it. If you ever mod it the exhaust has to come off for headers, heads, etc.,
