Alright a few months ago when I had my exhaust installed (BBK LTs/ORY with TSP Rumbler) after they finished it and I got it home I had noticed the rumbler was hanging really low just before the rear end so I took it back to see if they could raise it up to where it should be so they said sure and I dropped it off. What the shop ended up doing was cutting a small section out of the exhaust over the axle so they could get the exhaust up more but doing so not only made the tips uneven but now it keeps sliding apart where they cut it and I have put it back together a few times and just comes off so now im just thinking take it back and get it welded or are there some stronger clamps that will do a better job then the u clamp on it now. When I push it in it only goes in over a 1-2" or so which is not much.

Getting it welded would be the easiest thing to do. If you ever need to take it off you would have to cut it. I would have them line it up so the tips are lined up where you like them and have them weld it up.

I'd try a band clamp.

tighten the clamp more! No way that will pull apart with the clamp properly tighten over both pipes. Are you sure the clamp is over both pipes before you tighten it?

u clamp sucks, get a band clamp

I wouldnt tighten that U clamp too much....you can crush the pipe and reduce the inside diameter of your exhaust.

band clamp or weld.


Any sound clips of the exhaust setup?? How loud is it? You like or hate it??

I will try a band clamp tomorrow see if that works any. The other thing is my exhaust at that point laps each other, one part slides into the other side so I will need to find that style band clamp instead of a regular one which is use to connect 2 ends of the same size together.

Timmy Jones, I love the setup it sounds really good under normal driving its obviously noticeable but not to loud even when cruising on the highway its not annoyingly loud or has any drone very pleased with it. Now when going WOT then yes its very loud, the good type of loud. I have a few videos I will put them on here later when im on my computer.

regular style band clamp. when you tighten the band clamp, it will "mold" into shape.

Guess I will try it see what happens, assuming put half the clamp over 1 pipe and the other half over the other pipe that's sliding into the first pipe?

get rid of that u bolt clamp! if you actually get that thing to work and clamp it down really good luck splitting the bent pipes apart. Anything but that u bolt clamp style or welding. Welding means cut for removal, then weld it back again. Wasted money since you aren't a welder.

Get it adjusted where you want it then have it spot welded (1/4" welds) in 3-4 spots that can be easily accessed in case it ever needs to be removed, problem solved!

band clamps suck, get a V-band.

Inside diameter wouldn't be an issue on this application on this scale imo. Band clamps are twtg, but u clamps will work (if tightened).

Which is what i ended up doing actually, just now the dam thing rattles at idle and in reverse.....always something!
