Thick exhaust band clamps?
Has anyone had any luck finding thick (not wide) exhaust band clamps, like the ones you find holding your I-pipe to the Y-pipe on the stock exhaust? I like those because it crushes the imperections on the pipe since the clamp is real thick and makes a really good seal, as opposed to the stainless band clamps that don't. I just haven't found any in a 3" diameter.

I just found some today at the Local Dodge Dealer. Ask them for the band clamp on the 06 Viper. Its a 3" Stainless Band Clamp, The same used in many exhaust packages (Rear Clamp on F-Bodies Y pipe)
I am picking them up today and will let you know the part #. They are $13.

I have used both and agree that the thin 3" band clamp doesn't seem to crimp as well as the thicker clamp. I will probably be going back to the old style and see if my aggrevating leak goes away.

Is this the 3" diameter one, or the stock 2.5" diameter? If it's the 3", I'll go pick some up tomorrow.
