How to clamp down y pipe into collector...
How to clamp down y pipe into collector... Everywhere I go people are calling me a dipshit and giving me smart *** answers because I don't know this answer, I have never done this before. Me and my dad will be putting my headers on in May, and I need to know what I clamp down the y pipe into the 3" collector with. I know it has the triangle flange, so I don't see how a band clamp would work.
Both. I'm asking what do I use to clamp the y pipe into the long tube header collector, and if I use a band clamp to clamp down the y pipe into the I pipe, or have that welded. I was told welding the y pipe into the collectors is stupid, so I'm not gonna do that.
Pretty much I'm asking what/how do I clamp down the y pipe into the collector, and if I should use a band clamp for where the y and i pipe meet, or if I should weld it.

I got mine from Summit. The link is this
If the product doesn't come up, this is the part #: AVS-33041
um well, depending on were you got your headers and y-pipe from I would imagine they come with clamps. You slip the y-pipe and headers together and you use a clamp that looks like the letter U, just do a search under summit racing,
You can also use the same clamp for the I pipe, but some people get that welded so it dosen't leak

Jet hots have a flange, I'm asking if there is a BETTER way to do this. I'm asking what is better to do, clamp where the i and y meet, or weld it, and use the nuts/bolts Jet Hot gave me for THEIR y pipe. I know how to connect them.
I am getting the Jet hot y pipe which has the flanges as well, I have the bolts for it, but i was wondering if there is another alternative because it seems they will come loose..
That pic is exactly what I'll need...it has the flanges that go on the Jet Hot LT's. There is a gasket that seals between them. I'm wondering if there is a better way to clamp these together. And I was also wondering if I should use a band clamp where the I pipe and Y pipe meet, or if I should have that welded.

I've got pacesetter so I'm all slip fit. it sucks.
Remember that 3" stainless bandclamp I gave you? Use that on the ypipe-Ipipe.
Just use the bolts that jet hot gves you on the triangle flanges. It is a proven design. You can use the gaskets that they include, or get some soft aluminum/copper ones from your favorite speed shop. (try thunder/summit/jegs/etc....onre of the site sponsors preferrably.)
Feel free to ask me any questions as allways man.......
