Nice idea. Those clamps are pretty pricey though. $75 each?

Band clamps worked perfect for me.

But if you go with those be sure to post back up how they worked out for you.

Meh, my band clamps leak too. I've only seen one pic of a guy on here that had his exhaust fabbed up with V-band clamps, and I have no idea who it was or where the pics went. Looked pimp though.

If I had to do it over again, I'd do the V-bands. But for the hassle, I'm not gonna mess with it.

That's only the clamp. You also need the weld-on ferrules.

V band exhaust systems rock! Talk about easy to work with. You can literally dissassember your entire exaust in probably under 2 minutes if you used a cordless drill. There are no slip fittings, everything butts together. If I ever build another exhaust I'm gonna pony up the cash for those little jewels.
