Clamps

[TOMMY GUN]

Which type clamp would you use for an exhaust change?

Exhaust Clamps and Fasteners - Accuseal, Coupler, EasySeal, Liner, Muffler Straps, T-Bolt, Torctite, V-Band Exhaust Clamps

V-band for sure, but they are the most expensive. Also they look better if the collars are TIG welded not TG welded

I like the V' Band for areas where I want to be able to pull the exhaust down for transmission accessability ( have to get the male ends welded though but worth it in that instance) but then the Torctite on the rest of the exhaust just to save on expences.

In fact it is on my to do list to get (2) 3" V'Band clamp kits for that purpose.

Same here if we are going to be doing clutch TSB's every 20k miles and have to disassemble the whole aftermarket exaust instead just dropping the mid section. Those slip connections are a pain to get apart and back together!

V-band clamps would definitely be my recommendation. We use v-band clamps on aircraft for the high-temp, high-pressure ducting.

Problem w/ the V clamps is I need 6. At $27 bucks each thats a little steep?


My X pipe is in 2 pieces, that's 2 clamps.

Then the X pipe is 3", needs to go to the factory 2.5" pipe? That means a reducer, that means 4 more clamps(2 on each).

The Duraseal clamps that are OE are better than the Accuseals even though they look similar. The Duraseals seal better and provide greater clamp load. The Duraseals are made by Torca and both Duraseals and Accuseals are available through Classic Chambered Exhaust Inc. I am not sure but for the muffler clamp I think you want their part number DS250-better give them a call at 248-889-HEMI.

TG just weld the reducer one side that will save you some clamps.

This is an old thread, I am actually looking to sell the JBA X pipe because I don't want my car any louder.
