Default Welding or Clamps for Aftermarket Exhaust

For all who have aftermarket exhaust systems did you weld all your joints once you had them fitted or just keep the clamps? What differences did you notice?

My exhaust tip on the passenger side keeps moving at the joint ever so slightly, but enough to irritate me. So i'm debating getting the entire thing welded instead of using the supplied clamps. That one joint is tighted down to over 150ft/lbs and it still moves!!

i would never weld on an aftermarket catback exhaust. or aftermarket headers or ory pipe. get some silicone, i cant remember the name of it. its the orange stuff. somebody will chime in and tell u the brand to use. might also look into some dynatech stainless 2 bolt clamps or something similiar.
