Question Best Place to Buy Exhaust Clamps?

Where is the best place to get the exhaust clamps I need to attach my y-pipe to my headers and my y-pipe to my exhaust?

I'm not really sure which ones I need, some are stepped and some are not? What do I need for the Pacesetter LTs with 3" ORY?

NAPA sells exhuast clamps.... Make sure you get the band clamps and not the U bolt clamps, as it will safe you many headaches later on when you try and pull the exhuast off.

With a 3" (nominal) y-pipe and collectors, you need 3" band clamps. Just get the flat ones, when you crank 'em down the stretch just a little and make a great seal. (Get SS band clamps, like 2" or so wide). I like these a lot better than the 1/2 wide 'band' clamps that come with some header sets.

Local parts stores have 'em sometimes, kind a pricey, but if you get them online shipping can make 'em cost even more. They run 5-10 bucks each typically.
