    So I have just about had enough ...

    My catback exhaust raddles .. I know its those fuckin clamps too ..

    Anyway, I bottomed out on one before and replaced it with a regular exhaust clamp .. but its too big .. so at low rpms or WOT I hear it rattling cuz its rubbing up against the other pipe were the midpipes meet the catback ..

    I tried another clamp that wouldnt tighten enough .. I was doing donuts and my catback slide back about 2in disconnecting it from the midpipes ..

    Do you guys have yours welded in .. if not can you let me know what kinda clamps you are using or if anyone else is having issues ???

    god yeah they should be welded lol...

    what i did buddy...is i had it all welded in...then I have a high temp paint thats good up to around 1600* and i painted the exhaust black so that it doesnt rust since i still have the stock exhaust pipes

    so when they weld them in, do you disconnect the exhaust at the headers - that way the exhaust will drop down more?

    did you guys only weld them at the midpipes or at the other locations as well?

    yeah because I have other set of clamps right near the rear axle too so I'm gonna have to do those as well.

    Thanks Stevo
