Best method to weld in V band clamps at header collectors? My slip fit connection to my headers is never releasing (band clamps dented the outer pipes into the inner making it pretty impossible to get off and I want to be able to remove my header easily to get at a stripped bolt hole) so I am going to install some Vibrant v band clamps. As my exhaust is basically stuck in the car what is the best way to install these? Each flange individually or keep the entire assembly together, cut out a section from the pipe, and weld it in place? I may be limited to MIG and stainless wire to get this done (my headers and exhaust are stainless) as I don't have TIG capabilities and TIG may end up being cost prohibitive for me right now. Thanks for the help!
