Thanks for the tips blackfoot ... however, for my Magnaflow, there aren't any threads on the back pipe connecting to the exhaust piping of the car .. should I just smear it all over the metal where the two parts meet?

theres no clamp to keep that part tight to the rest of the system????


i think you got jipped because i thought it came witha clamp.. and im almost sure ive seen it...

you could go to your local autoparts store and buy a (the right size) U bolt clamp, or band clamp for exhaust systems

U-bolts tend to creat a ridge within the piping and if you wanted to remove it you would need a torche to heat the metal.. a band clamp does the job, but they are known for no sealing the exhaust system.. but if thats not an issue (which i dont think is) you can get your system apart no problem 80% of the time.

i recomend a band clamp

Yeah, the muffler came with a clamp ... and I'm clamping it verrrry tight, but it's still coming loose. I'm thinking about using some Permatex Hi-Temp Metal Repair Compound to seal the two parts together, along with the clamp.

well you use the lock tight on the treads that clamp the clamp.. lol that sounds funny
