Default to weld or not to weld?

I'm getting ready to sell my turbo kit and I know that if I have my pieced-together mandrel-bends welded and powdercoated, it will bring more value to my ebay auction. The turbo is intercooled by Tyrus and it is currently in a del sol. If I weld my charge pipes would they still fit the 92-95 civic ex's? BTW, I'm selling my kit to upgrade.

partially weld them, and then attach the non weld's with couplers. It's even safer, that way if the turbo runs too much boost, they blow off instead of your engine.

i dont think charge pipe connecters are a good boost over ride control. but like he said weld the ones that can be and put a few couplers in there for ease of installation.
