N20 Downpipe Install Help

So I went under my car to see what I was working with and I noticed that there was a weld on the exhaust side clamp. I didn't really try to remove it because I wasn't ready for the install but should it be a problem? Or would I need to bring it to a shop?

Na I had the same weld on mine.
You can still take it out.
The weld just holds the clamp to the exhaust.
After you remove the bolt you can wiggle the exhaust apart.
Also I needed a deep socket for that bolt because mine was really stuck.

Thanks. It was weird seeing it I thought maybe there was a leak and it had to be welded at some point
