Default Exhaust Clamps

Do any sponsors sell clamps that aren't band clamps or U clamps (not sure what the actual name is)? I have a magnaflow and I olutely do not want to use the U clamps that came with it. I know QTP uses a type of clamp on their y-pipe that is about an inch wide and goes over slotted pipes to clamp it together. Anyone have any ideas?

this is what you need ... your magnaflow i believe has the slits in the swagged part of the pipe to creaye a pinch fit .... these clamps are like the factory style clamp that connects your catback

Wow this blew up. Chief sent me a link to a site that has the Torca AccuSeal clamps, exactly what I want. Band clamps are fine, but on the pieces that connect to the muffler, there's just not enough straight section to allow a band clamp to seat well. I am going to order up the accuseal's tomorrow.

Torchd, the v-bands are bad ***, but I am not looking to get anything welded up at the moment. Thanks for the suggestions guys.
