Exhaust clamps. Okay, i'm about to purchase an SLP loudmouth exhaust system for my Z. He says he doesn't have any of the clamps. I just need to verify how many of what size i should get. And does brand really matter? I don't really want to spend a fortune on clamps. Thanks all. I can't wait to get this stuff installed. Lid is already on the way!

If it's new it will come with them, sounds used but almost anywhere will have them. Word of advice, saw-zaw the stock cat back off. It will save you oddles of time taking that thing off. Sorry, I can't remember the sizes off-hand though. I have an idea but don't want to give ya any bad info.

Man I could only find 3 3inch on mine. I had another clamp that was right in front of the resonator but that was huge. I know for sure you will need the 3 3 inch clamps but Im not sure about the other ones. Maybe someone else will chime in but thats all I have on mine. 3 3inchers another big clamp in behind the resonator, and one more clamp right by the y pipe that might be the 2.5. That is my guess, I couldnt measure the clamp by the Y, so that is my guess. Hope this helps. My LM doesnt even have any rust or anything on it and its 5 years old. Damn nice metals used, I havent really examined it lately, looks good.

I'm taking the tranny out tomorrow so I'll take a good look for ya then. I think there are 4-5 total though, but it's been a while since I installed it. 2 for the exhaust tips, 1 for the drivers side extension where the LM splits, 1 (3")where the lm hooks to the y-pipe. I think I remember one just before it goes over the rear axle I think, but I'll post up tomorrow to let you know for sure or just call SLP. They'll tell ya everything.

7 clamps total, 4 3 inch ones ( 2 for each sides of the resinator, I attaching to the Y pipe and 1 to attach to the pipe right before the over the axle) and 3 2.5 ones ( 1 for the other pipe that goes around to the other tailpipe and 2 to hold the tips on)

Alright, cool. The guy i'm ordering them from actually has tips that have a little allen wrench screw that presses up against the pipe on the tips to hold then on. So i will need 4 3" clamps and 1 2.5" clamp. Thanks for the help.
PS: i just noticed that on the advertisement pic there is 4 big clamps and 3 little ones

you talking about ordering a whole exhaust system headers back? or just the loudmouth cat back set up? if you go headers and want to lower your car DO NOT GO SLP...man they sit waaaaayyy to low...pacesetter/kooks/ something like that would do you better...

Truthfully I can't wait to cam it to make it louder 
. There not be any clamps at the resonator though. I know for a fact mine does not, but it doesn't mean that it won't since it's used. I just got home from work and never had a chance to get started on the car today, but will be first thing in the morning and will verify what I find on mine. Sorry it's been a very long day
