Exhaust Clamp bullshit. Well i noticed lately that my car has been sounding weird from the drivers side not in the engine but the exhaust where the Y pipe meets the Header. well come to find out the damn exhaust clamp came loose and worked its way up the header a bit, so had to hammer that sucker back to its original position and tighten those damn bolts that were a pain in the *** to tighten. anyone else have this problem before??? its a TSP ORY and so far this has been the only issue with it other than the rubber on the TR bump stop hanger coming loose but thats not the Y pipe.

its a band clamp, just somehow moved its way up the header a bit. must be from me beatin on the car so much lol. but fixed the problem and just wanted to know if its a common thing for these to come loose.
i torqued all my band clamps on my tsp x-pipe down to 60ft. lbs. and i havent had a problem. as a matter of fact the bandclamp thats on my drivers side header is not even on the joint and it still does not leak. if you have a torque wrench go ahead and torque em down to 60ft and i doubt youll have a problem.
