Plus, you will be able to seperate the pipes later on with the band clamp.

The standard C muffler clamp will seal better than the band clamp. I was forced to go that route because I couldn't get a seal with the band clamp.

just got some from jc whitney...

they do stretch over repeated taking on and off.....so just get a backup on or two so you have them(unless its never coming off)
