how to seal up exhaust. how did you guys do it? My car sounds like it is leaking, I have no AIR or EGR to have leaks there, (those areas are well sealed), It is coming from where those U bolt clamps are on the system. Is there anything better to use to get a good seal?

Re: how to seal up exhaust. You could try using band clamps instead, although if you used U-bolts I would think that the pipe would be comprimised and you would not get a good seal out of those. Also try loosening the U-bolt and turning it 45, 90, etc, and see if just turning and repositioning would help. Maybe make a new groove after you loosen the U-bolt and retighten.
