Exhaust clamp question

addìct · 10-31-2005, 04:57 PM

With Autospeed dp's and a UUC Vm3, are all the clamp sizes 2.25"? So, the connection between the dp's and the catback, and the connection between the 2 parts of the cat-back.

Other than the v-band clamp, of course.

I got a major exhaust leak with the band clamp, I just ended up welding them.

So, why didn't it work? What clamp and size did you use? I want to stay away from welds as much as possible, because I have testpipes to swap in and out.

Also what size would I need for stock DP's and Twin2 exhaust?
