Default Stainless header question

For those of you with stainless headers, how do you connect the y pipe to them?

Band clamps or get someone who welds stainless?

thanks in advance

You want to use clamps , If they were welded on it sure would be tough to take them off . The collectors are a slip fit design , the Y front section that connects to the headers will come expanded to slip over the header collectors.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
