I need to put my cat convert back on my exhaust system all piping is 3".
I don't want to weld it back on, and I need it for about a week.
Anyone know any good clamps or connectors to use? I've looked at a couple but don't want to order anything that won't work.

NAPA sells 3in band clamps that will work fine. You have to ask for them, i think they keep them in the back

^^I use them on my setup..the main reason is so I can un-bolt and remove the Exhaust easily.

I run those at junctions I need to be able to remove. Been doing do for years.
You have to use a 1/2" drive impact and a good compressor to get them to seal properly on sections that vibrate a lot.
Much better than flanges, but I'd weld the whole system if I could get away with it.

^Yeah on the box they shipped in, I don't remember which brand I got, they recommend torquing them between 70-85 ft.-lbs.

Thats the 4" one but I'm sure they have 3" available.

x2 on the band clamps. My entire exhaust is held together with about 5 of them - makes for easy deletion of the exhaust at the track.
