Did you get the clamp from Pypes Performance? I'm telling you that clamp is not made very well. The way the pipes slip in is questionable as well as how thin the whole piece is. I definitely recommend using a Ford clamp to be on the safe side.

muffler shop tack welded my setup after installing the clamps that came with my kit. Looks to be holding up A-OK. you shouldnt have any problems now that your pipes have been tack welded.......i think

RE: Clamps
I just returned from the muffler shop that installed my duals 3 months ago. The driver's side clamp at the x & mid-pipe was not tight even though the clamp was fully tightened. He tacked it in place, and repositioned the rear muffler. Best of all - no charge!
Sandy, it's kinda ironic since your clamp was an issue too. It's all good now!

RE: Clamps
its hard for me to understand how these clamps would be able to hold up alone without at least a tack weld anyways. its not like rubber or silicone couplings where the clamps can "squeeze" the soft material to a tight fit. i dont see how metal can be "squeezed" to a tight enough fit unless it was heated or something.

I'm glad you had yours checked. Perhaps this thread is a wake-up call to all those V6ers out there that have had duals installed.
