Default Any sealing or welding nec.????

I am about to install my Pacesetter Off road race headers for my 02 TA with the TSP ORY and Rumbler Exhaust. My question is, are the clamps sufficient enough or should I seal off the points where the pipes fit with (tin foil, or jb weld,or gasket maker or high temp silicone)? So should I use anything special to seal the headers and all the joints? Also, the last part of the cat back by the exhaust tip and the exhaust tips themselves, do they need to be welded on? Answers Greatly appreciated!

Clamps suck that come with the pascesetters. You want some of those really wide band clamps. Or you can weld it up too.

I used some extra band clamps my friend had laying around. He got them from summit for like 8.50 each I think and summits got free shipping. They worked great - no leaks at all.

Napa usually has the wide stainless band clamps in stock for around $10. I got mine from summit for $8 if I remember right. No leaks at all.
