Title: Exhaust question.
Post by: Uzi9mm on October 09, 2007, 01:14:46 PM

Does anyone use a hose clamp on the rubber connector where the muffler slips on over the pipe?

I use safety wire, two wraps then twisted, never leaks.

I have been using fat hose clamps i found that have coated edges. this way i can remove the exsust easier. i used regular clamps and found myself needing to replace my rubber

gawd, i know i'll probably get flamed for this, but where do I get the rubber piece that connects the pipe to the silencer?
