I hear the powerstroke diesels use the 3". No trucks use the 2.5"

I got a set from FLP when a nasty speedbump took mine out.

You can get the 3" V-band clamps @ a Ford Dealership. They are for a '96 F350 turbo diesel, they cost about $12 a piece from Ford and about $25 a piece from FLP - your choice. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

I believe Dynatech makes the 1 3/4" headers for FLP.

The ford price seems a lot better, now I know where I will go to get them, the sizes are different on the FLP's though, the fronts are 3" and the rears look a little smaller... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

The rear are 2 1/2".That will be the harder to get.Anyone know where to get these other than FLP?
I'm going to Ford and get 4 3" for future use.

SlowHawk,

Why don't you try to go directly to the manufacturer? I just got a set earlier this month from FLP after the damn speed bump ate mine. I wrote down all the info off the clamps for future reference. The clamps are manufactured by R.G. Ray Corporation, Buffalo Grove, Illinois. The 2.5" clamp PN# is 50380 and the 3" clamp PN# is 50381. Call information get their number and give it a shot, can't hurt. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
