dude, go to Napa or Carquest and ask for two band clamps. they are exactly the same thing and run about 12-15 bucks. just need to figure out what size the stock pipes are. i think 2 1/4

look on ebay for 2.5" exhaust clamps, I bought mine from summit's store for around 10 a piece.

so its 2.5 and why not Napa or Carquest so he doesn't have to wait? lol

Because I haven't seen the exhaust clamps that he is descirbing at auto parts stores, I have only seen the C clamps, which will not work for what he needs.

Those aren't c clamps they are band clamps. Most places do not carry them. The pipe is 2.5"

These are the ones I bought to replace mine. $7.99

Lightblade I have 2 of these already.They leak.The only clamps that seem not to leak on my wife's 05 and my 06 seem to be the factory ford ones.I thought someone might know where to get oem parts at a discount.Dang northern car mine are rusted and the bolts broke when i tryed to adjust my exhaust.Future reference dont buy a car that came from up north.Everything underneath that can rust from all the salt will.

 

[bumblebee06]

wow.......im an idiot. BAND CLAMPS are at Napa and Carquest. I HAVE bought them there before. around 13 a piece. Sorry guys LMAO

I used the stainless band clamps to attach my Kooks mid-pipe to the factory cat-back. I put a bead of high-temp copper rtv around them before i tightened them up and they've been working great.

Mabye yours leaked, well then time to shell out big $$$. My oem ones leaked really bad and slipped apart, i guess most will do it over time.

Thanks man.That sounds like it might work.Sure would like to keep my $80 bucks.

I've been around the block a few times with these clamps. I've found there's no substitute for the OEM ones, even though they can only take 3 or 4 remove/retighten cycles. Rock Auto has them a little cheaper.

yes, NAPA and CarQuest are real auto parts stores.

O'Reilly's Autozone, and Advance are for picking up Air Fresheners.
Don't even get me started on PepBoys...

I actually bought my clamps off of Ebay.

These were not Ford OEM clamps, they were something else. A Little beefier, SS and were quality made in comparison. I think I paid like 40 bucks for both shipped.

I'd check Ebay out and see what you can come up with.
