Hey guys - I have a quick question. I got a used SLP LoudMouth Exhaust kit, and according to the instructions I have found (here) it comes with 4 bolted band clamps. The used kit I got did not have those. Are there ones I can use when I take off my old exhaust, or do I need to go find those somewhere? Is there a place local that would sell them (like autozone) or an online place to get them?

Thanks for the help

 

You can always get U-clamps at autozone. Many people prefer these over the band clamps.

 

yeah the u clamps are like 2.99 at pep boys..

 

Weird that the guy selling you the exhaust didn't include the clamps, as anything he would have replaced it with including going back to stock has clamps included.

Get the u clamps from auto zone or weld them in.

 

Don't use U-bolts they will crush the pipe and you won't be able to change them in the future, get some band clamps, the best are 2" wide and they actually cover the seam and create good seal. Here are what they look like http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/30732/10002/-1

 

u can get those clamps anywhere.

 

Awesome - thanks for the advice and the link.

I thought it was a little strange they were not there, but I got a great price on them (and they are in great shape) - and the clamps don't cost much, so it is all good =)
