Default How are these clamps for my boomtubes?

The stock clamps that come with the Boomtubes feel like they can be cut in half with regular scissors. And lately I have been hearing weird squeaking coming from my exhaust and I think it's the clamps coming loose.

Anyone have any advice on these? Will they do the job well?

Yeah the clamps that come with the boomtubes look crappy as hell.

I used the clamps that came with my Corsas which are exactly the same as the stock clamps.

Just use your stock clamps. They're much more beefy.

Thats what I suggest also, use the stock clamps. There was a spot weld on both of mine that I just drilled out. They hold great.
