Default My new Pacesetter 3in ORY

This is the very first piece for my exhaust that I am building/putting together over the summer. The y-pipe is 3in and is un-coated, it came with all the clamps and everything to put it together with. I am coating it myself using plastic-kote from NAPA and I need to heat cycle it for 60 mins after it has air dried for 60 mins. I plan on doing the whole install myself and then once I am done I will have a mechanic from Friend, NE check over all my work. I am getting all the hardward for the install very soon and than with my next paycheck it is onto Pacesetter AMOUR coated Long-Tube headers. Here are the pictures with are below. All comments and suggestions are welcomed and appericated. Enjoy the pictures!!

I've found that band clamps for lap joints work better on slip fit connections than the clamps that actually compress the pipe to seal it. The stainless steel band stretches to seal the pipe instead. My ORY was leaking pretty bad, and I broke the clamps trying to get it to seal. I bought those lap joint bands clamps and it doesn't leak anymore. You can get them from NAPA, Jegs, Summit, and many other places.
