Default OBX Clamp Size

The band clamps that OBX sends with the headers are complete crap and i can not make it stop leaking for the life of me. Ive tried several exhaust leak kits, but apparently they all eventually get burnt off. So now im looking to buy new clamp, which i should have done in the first place. Does anyone know exactly what size clamp i will need? Any that anyone would recommend? Links would be helpful if possible. Thanks.

Why not just weld the H-Pipe to the LT's? Get rid of clamps all together.

Ah gotcha, well all you need is a 2.5" exhaust clamp. Sorry I didn't write it in my first post, I thought I did. The H-Pipe in the OBX system is 2.5"

Isn't the header collector 3" though? I had to get 3" clamps for my headers.
