My slip fit connection to my headers is never releasing (band clamps dented the outer pipes into the inner making it pretty impossible to get off and I want to be able to remove my header easily to get at a stripped bolt hole) so I am going to install some Vibrant v band clamps. As my exhaust is basically stuck in the car what is the best way to install these? Each flange individually or keep the entire assembly together, cut out a section from the pipe, and weld it in place? I may be limited to MIG and stainless wire to get this done (my headers and exhaust are stainless) as I don't have TIG capabilities and TIG may end up being cost prohibitive for me right now. Thanks for the help!
