Mine leaks too on the pass side where one of the pipes goes into the muffler. I've thought about getting it welded but i really hate to weld the damn thing together if i need to take the exhaust out.
I have the same leak and the same concerns that you do. I've finally decided since I have a leak for sure, but who knows if I'll ever need to take the exhaust apart, I'm going to get it welded just in the spot(s) where it leaks & hope for the best. I'm tired of it being loud, and if I ever need to take it apart, I'll figure out something when the time comes (hopefully )
