I was wondering if you guys are welding your new exhaust or just clamping it when you switch it over I cant wait to get that cannon put on my truck I love it

 

I didn't feel a need to weld. The clamps crimp it down nice and tight.

 

Oh, and congratulations. You're going absolutely love the new sound.

 

Thanks kwik I cant wait to get it installed I am hoping I can get it put on tomorrow and the cool thing is tomorrow is my birthday also what a great birthday present to myself

 

Happy Birthday. It'll be a great present.

 

It really depends on the kind of clamps you get. Normally, I would weld but if they are decent clamps and they don't move around any after you get them on then theres no point to weld.

 

does Marks exhaust come with decent clamps or any clamps? thats where it came from and I havent looked except for the tip

 

Yes, they should be in the box. There will be clamps and hangers. The hangers are numbered. There is one 4" clamp and the rest are 5". The only peice of 4" pipe is the DP. The second pipe has a "dent" that fits over the transmission cross brace. They seem to be pretty good clamps. I've checked my clamps almost every day since I installed the system. I'd hate to drop that exhaust at 75mph on the highway. At the size of those things, somebody would get killed.

 

thank god i have not welded mine. i have had my exhaust out about 4 or 5 times, and it would have been impossible to weld. i would recommend to stay away from the clamps with the U bolt and the mating half. instead get the AccuSeal clamps, the band type that is designed to bottom out completely on the spacer block and not overtighten the clamp. i used two when i did my muffler delete. i acutally had to cut a piece of the pipe that goes into the front of the muffler when i was taking it off, as the U-bolt clamp had crushed the outside pipe (muffler) into the extender pipe, and it wouldn't let it come loose.
