make sure you get the right size, those are better than what you have on there now.

I will make sure about the sizes. But I was wondering if there is a better clamp that most are using or just go with this and not worry about it.

The walker clamp you show and the accuseal clamps are the two best clamps on the market (I believe). They have different uses but those two will do the the job in most cases.

You could just weld the pipes up, the ditch the clamps all together.

Or you could put 2-4 spot welds on each pipe connection, then also use the single bolt band clamps.
I found that the larger 2 bolt band band clamps work best for a daily driver, otherwise moisture has a tendency to rust the pipes under the clamps.

I have the Walker lap-joint band clamps on both my car and my truck; no leaks on either.
