I am about to pick up a complete 3 inch exhaust system from one of the vendors, which is better, getting it welded together, or using the stainless exhaust clamps??

thanks

I would go with TU's band clamps, they rock! they are really nice if you want to take off some of your exhaust at the track and run an open DP or if you need to make some adjustments after its all been put together and you've driven it

With my 3" I did a mixture of welding and clamps. Welding out back and clamps at the Cat.

clamp the cat and muffler, weld the rest.

I got nothing but leaks at every joint I clamped with those band clamps. small leaks, but leaks none the less. I'd use as few of them as possible.
