exhaust cutout clamp question
Exhaust is 3"
Cutout pipe is 3"
would band clamps be sufficient enough to hold them together? or do i absolutely need 2 small sections of pipe that are a bit larger, and put the band clamps over them?

best thing is to have overlaps in the pipes and band clamp or weld

OP, this method will work fine for HOLDING AN ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM UP if you so choose. For a cut-out, of course. And as for leaking.....I don't think so.

thats how it is where my Ypipe meets the I pipe, you can see some heat but nothing worth crying over.
my original plan was to have it welded but i can't find any shop/garage that does.
Just to clear up what i'm asking the cutout pipe and my exhaust pipes are the same diameter, and would be against eachother/next to/ lined up end to end No overlap *The band clamp would act as a sleeve & a clamp, going over both pipes.*
* would that be fine?
thanks if this agrees with the above then i'm good.

I don't support the idea of using the clamp without overlapping the pipes. I have seen setups like this and they do slip apart. If the vehicle spends any time going over bumps then they will pull apart over time.
