Default Got my Stingers today.... problem on the install....

I installed my stingers today... I did run into a problem though. I couldnt get the clamps to seal the pipes. There is a pretty good leak out of both mufflers. I'm gonna take it the shop tomorrow. Anyone else have this problem?

I had the same problem with my FRPP GTAs, I ended up buying some 3" band clamps that cover the entire joint and seal it tight. Cost $9.00 a piece at NAPA. The clamps don't crush the pipe like U-clamps so you will be able to take them off if you need to.
