Headers can't bolt up!!

Ok, got my Pace Setter headers, there is no flanges to bolt the headers on...Can't weld on or it will screw up the ceramic coating. I don't want to use crappy clamps that will leak... So what does everyone do to hook it up to the rest of the exhaust?

are you talking about to hook it to the rest of the exhaust? Your headers are mounted to the motor right? They did come with flanges to mount to the motor itself right

Any place that deals with deisel trucks( freightliner, mack, peterbuilt) will .have the clamps. That is where I got mine. Mine were a little cheaper at the Mack place.
