I have a question

I wasnt sure where to put this, since there isnt really an "exhaust section" at least that i could find, but anyway..
I just bought a full catback setup from borla for my 92 camaro, and i was under the impression that it came with clamps to connect all the pipes, intermediate, everything together but then i was seeing various pictures on the net of people with the same systems that have them welded.
My question is, is this necessary to have it welded at a muffler shop, or does it come with the clamps to connect it, and what are the benifits of getting everything welded together if it isnt a must.
Mainly wondering becuase the borla set me back close to $800 and i dont really have $400 laying around to get it all welded up at the muffler shop right now, and i really dont feel like letting it sit in the box until i do get that $400.
Thanks guys

Re: I have a question

Just get it welded. That way you dont have to worry about leaks from crappy clamps.

Re: I have a question

If you put that kind of money out for exhaust, why finish it off with cheap clamps that will end up leaking?

Re: I have a question

$400 to have it welded up? HOLY SHIT!

I can get a full 1-piece cat-back system minus muffler/resonator put on my Escort for $90 at Seeburg's. That's paying for EVERYTHING except muffler and resonator, including labor.

Re: I have a question

My exhaust systems aren't welded. They're so tight and nicely done that they don't have to be.

Re: I have a question

Clamps should do well enough. Hell, there's a modification we do to the exhaust of the $120,000 SL55 that involves cutting the exhaust and CLAMPING it back together. Works fine.
