Default Exhaust Leaks...

Well i just finished installing my pacesetter headers. Omg what a fawking pita. Anyways... I used the clamps that came with the y pipe and headers. Its an off road y pipe. I can see fumes coming from every conection point. Im soooooo tired right now so i dont have the energy to fix it at the moment nore am i sure how to go about it. I thought i had them pretty tite. Any suggestions. All help greatly appreciated as always.

Thanks in advance,

Haha.. you're using the u-clamps .. Take them off as soon as you get the energy. Throw them in the trash. Grab your car keys and go buy some stainless steel bandclamps from any of your local parts stores..

Install: PROBLEM SOLVED

The included U-Clamps suck ***..
