I welded my duals together and put 3 bolt flanges where the headers connect to the dual system. My whole exhaust comes off in 5 mins! My experience with the band clamps is that they leak no matter how tight you get them. My .02.

Or, you could send my your 427 with complete exhaust and I would send you a 6-cylinder in return. Again, I'm only making this offer out of the kindness of my heart.
i'll give you $2000

yeah, mine are coming off with the install of my heads/cam, so when I put them back on I'll probably get them welded...

My set came with the ugly u-bolts, so i went to napa and bought band clamps which was money i had earmarked for the tune, but i'm glad i got them. TSP must have changed the set-up or you just got the "deluxe" edition!

And a few band clamps showed up from somewhere else

I received U clamps with my TSP system that was just ordered last week. Maybe this statement was for just one day? I also did not get any instructions for installation, like said on the website.

ahh what do you know, I am the 100th lucky buyer.. I didn't get mounting bolts either.

The word i have heard is that with a cam, even better and louder. I cant wait for this 231/237 in two weeks. The band clips are much better than the old u bolts i might add. Nice system and great job TSP.

Yours must have been shipped along with mine

Luckily I had band clamps I was going to put on my previous setup. Exhaust went on and sounds bad as a hell

Love my duals from TSP, great sound and product, nice and deep sounding almost a meaty mellow sound...they installed mine at TSP and did a damn nice job of making them fit with zero clearance issues. I have always watched out for speed bumps and stuff anyway so theres no issues there. Love to start my car now!!!!

They didn't have the band clamps in stock because they apparently have been selling so many of these systems and ran out. So I had to use the U Bolts at first but they are putting the correct band clamps on this week now that they have them in stock again.
