I'm going to be installing a catback (Magnaflow) soon myself and was wondering about the clamps. Is it just as good an idea to use the supplied "U" clamps or would it be better to invest in some good stainless steel band clamps? I hear the bad clamps don't crush the pipes, whereas the "U" clamps do.
Thanks,
Marc

The hard part is getting the old exhaust out specially on jackstands. I'm going to be hacksawing mine tonite. Other than that the installation of the new one should be pretty easy. It also helps to have a friend help you.
