You DON'T want to weld all the pipes together as there is no way for the system to flex now....

its got enough flex in it, and if not, its no big deal to go back in later and put a coupler on the intercooler inlet. Fewer couplers is always better from a pipe management standpoint and possibly even a performance standpoint.

Besides, if you've got decent quality couplers and piping thats not way spaced out from each other, how much flex do you really think you get? couplers don't give that much.
