When I installed them I used a ceramic cutting wheel and cut 4 slits in the 2.5 inch connector that slides over the pipe. This allowed the clamps to fully tighten them down. The main reason I suggest doing this is so you can adjust the tips easily. Sometimes exhaust pipes move for many different reasons, causing the tips to not be centered, one to hang lower than the other, etc. Using clamps allows you to adjust the tips perfectly to your bumper and your preference. Even if an exhaust shop welds them on perfectly, a pothole or something else can tweak them. Once they are clamped on tight, the tips themselves don't move. The clamps are extremely hard to see unless your under the car, and I doubt people walk around with 13mm wrench or socket so they probably won't be stolen, just be aware of where you park/leave it.
sounds good.. if i dont end picking up ssmockin's pro series ill definelty getting the ones i posted in the 1st post..
thanks

You mean like the ones I sell now...

http://6litereaterdesigns.com/store/...roducts_id=112



Vendor didn't cut me a break, I pay shipping BOTH ways and loose paypal fees but they are STILL cheap (compared to my other stuff), look good and come with my customer service

Nothing for me to really make money off of but I wanted to be able to offer them (to go with my new DE valance)... If anyone wants a set I can throw in a gauge plate (a/c vents, console cubby, etc.) to make you feel better for buying from me
