ok, stupid question but ill ask it anyway. what are you guys using to secure your duals to your header collectors since theyre a "slip fit". obviously on headers such as hooker youd just weld another 3 bolt flange onto the duals and bolt it up. so im wondering what you guys used/what needs to be done. thanks.

On my friend's car, we used 3 and 1/8" stepped to 3" band clamps that Napa special ordered.

aslong as the surface is clean and perfectly round they work really well. i use them alot on my exhausts. you could take them off but theirs this glue that adheres to it when you first run them. theyll work for what your going to be doing quite well. and (unlike a flange) wont take away from ground clearance

I have a y-pipe and not duals, but it's still a slip fit design.

These are also what I used! Just make sure to put a bead of ultra copper on the inside of the band clamp befor you tq them down.

weld a set of 3" v-bands on there, you will never regret it and its worlds better than band clamps

anyone of you guys with tds want to do me another huge favor, my cars in storage right now and will need to be worked on asap once i get it out (bottom end getting rebuilt) and if anyone has anyone dimensions lengths writeups etc on making your duals could they pm them. while the cars getting fixed i want to put together my duals set up in welding class in school. i just dont want to throw anything together and not have it fit because of wrong lenths/bends etc.
