I'd get it welded. Also, I've tried the exhaust repair stuff to no avail before and it looked crappy.

If you just installed it, I'd give the metal a little time to expand and seal itself. If it still leaks, you could weld it or look for another product.

i have the mbrp offroad. it leaked for a few weeks then sealed on its own. just make sure the clamps are tight as hell. really put some muscle into tightening them. i wouldn't jump to welding just yet

Ok thanks I just noticed because the muffler was rattling a bit. I'll tighten it more.
