Question REMUS QUADS: Weld or Clamps?

Hey guys. I need an advice. I just picked up my Remus race quads exhaust. In order to install this is to cut my OEM mufflers off. The Remus came with clamps but i am hesitant to use the clamps. I hear that there might be a possible leak if it is clamped on.

Option B: Should I just have the shop weld it? it is leak free.

My concern is that, the Remus exhaust is designed with to used clamps.

Your advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Clamping it will be easier to resell. I have mine clamped and it might have a leak but it is much.

Welding it will make it harder to sell or change exhaust of you decide to.

I've had mine clamped for the last two years, I have the Sport version without any issues. No leaks, clamps are as tight as they were two years ago. You can do it either way..

Harder to sell since some people don't like welded exhaust. You might want to swap the whole exhaust just to keep it simple and easy. While you change to a other section 3 exhaust you have to cut then extend the pipes to fit again is annoying and it don't look right at all.

My old mustang had clamps and keep on leaking...so I went back and got it welded...no problems. So I would weld.
