Default pypes instal ?

so tomorrow morning I'm getting my pypes mid system installed (super excited) it came with a bunch of clamps, should I go ahead and have my guy use these or should I have him weld it all together? Is one option better than the other or are they pretty much equal?
-thanks

I would have to say just clamp it for now, you can always have it welded later.
I have found on mine the clamps worked very well, some have said they had leaks, but if you tighten them real good and retighten after a little while you should be ok.
Welding is good, but if you ever want to change something, it could and up being a hassle, to cut the welds.

Have them clamp it. You may want to change in the future and it will make things much easier.

Yep, agree with everyone else. I almost had mine welded and the shop asked if I would ever do headers and etc. and I said yes and I'm glad I used the clamps. Easier to swap out parts later on.

you could even weld some of it and just leave the connections unwelded that you would need to remove to add headers, etc
