CME, band clamps, header install parts First off, is the factory cme from the tips to the muffler stainless steel? Also, it is 2.25", correct?
I ordered a Magnaflow X pipe and want to band clamp it so it can be easily removed. Where can I find good stainless band clamps or is there a better option?
New GM manifold gaskets, new GM header bolts, and 02 sims will be needed for the headers. FYI I am going with the Edelbrock stainless race version. Can I reused anything or are there better bolts and gaskets?
Any tips on making sure the clamps are sealed?

if i were you, i wouldnt bother with getting o2 sims, since you mentioned in your other thread that your taking out your AIR system, your SES light is going to come on anyway(at least mine did). just get some o2 extensions for your front o2 sensors. if i'm wrong about the o2 sims, somebody please correct me
as for your other questions about the CME, i'm not too familiar with it

I picked up some Walker 3" band clamps for my exhaust at my local "speed shop" for about $10, they're real nice. Summit and Jegs' sells them also.
You should use new GM manifold gaskets, but I think you should be able to reuse the header bolts.
