I finished putting my FRPP (Stingers) exhaust on tonight and man does it sound mean as HE**!!! Not too much problems with the install or the alignment. I do have a question about the clamps though. the driver's side tightened up OK but the pass. side wouldn't tighten down enough. I took the clamp off and then took the small metal piece off the bolt on the inside and then tightned back down. It worked this time but is this OK? While the car is running I can feel a little bit of exhaust leak around the collars of both clamps but you can't hear the leaks. So tomorrow I'll tighten down some more or maybe I'll get the impact on them. I've read where some people take the stock clamps off and use them but I didn't have any tools to do that with. Anyone with any ideas?

I believe you can buy band clamps similar to factory from jegs or Summit.
