i wouldnt weld it, just because you never know when you will need to remove it... i just went to car quest and picked up some exhaust gaskets and i bolted the test pipe in. Doesnt leak for me... so it should work for you too.

^ Correct. Don't weld or clamp it, it'll be fine as long as you don't overextend it. If you have the proper catback, this shouldn't be necessary.
