Those work great for all sorts of exhaust joints. And you can smear on Permatex ultra copper RTV to help it seal. It holds up to the heat. and for slip joints put RTV on the pipe that goes into the larger pipe, will keep water out and stop it rusting.
If im gonna cut the muffler off my car - could i use this method to attach a stainless steel pipe to replace the muffler? Would that be structurally sound?
And when you have the right size, the clamp bolts are tightened all the way to make the fit, they are designed to fit snugly around the pipe. Some clamps have an expanded end, which will fit over an expanded muffler pipe end or an expanded exhaust pipe end joint, some are fit to the non expanded exhaust pipe, that pipe is smaller so that it fits into the expanded muffler end pipe.
Thank you for this great video . I bought a 1982 SL380 R107 Mercedes with a complete new exhaust system and some dumb idiot welded the entire sections together, from the tailpipe to where the pipes bolt onto the manifolds . I'm now going have to cut the pipes in sections , so I can work on the undercarriage .I plan on using this style of clamp temporarily, until I decide how I'm going to redo the exhaust. Thank you again.
That looks like an easy weld. IF you want to fix it without the weld I'd use JB weld epoxy. Then do the band clamp around it. That copper band was a smart choice.
All 2 inches it's a Female coupling and the male 2 inches exhaust pipe insert in the hole of the Female. OD and ID it's like plumbing measure fit seal and stick. It's like ducts for the heating air-conditioned measure fit and and seal.
Nice temp solution..... I would just weld the cut with 308L Stainless mig preferred 0.23 wire quickly can call it a day. Also quick tip if you have sealing problems and you need a butt clamp in place. You can always wrap a thin sheet of fiberglass around it. Fiberglass has a melting point of around 1700F so perfect for exhaust work to fill the little cracks and groves under the clamp up. All you need is a very thin piece of the size of the clamp itself plus a little extra on the length of 3.14 * diameter (2.5) = 7.85 so I cut it 9" long and wrap it around this way it will seal the little 2 joints where the clamp meets the aluminum piece and you have even less exhaust leaking out. We do this on Rally Car's when we are out racing and do have a crack or need to clamp into the exhaust something.
Band clamps better than welding, they last a long time. Welders cost more money, Lap clamps saves pipes, so they can be easily reused when you have to take things apart.
Hi. Thanks for sharing. Would this clamp be good to connect 2 separate pieces of pipe together. I don't really want to rip the pipe out to replace. Thanks.

@@FC3_RIPPER Sure, just make sure to get the right sized exhaust pipe sleeve. Yes it will be structural, these clamps are strong.

No need for the torque wrench, tighten it with the impact until it stops turning. The band will stretch tight around the pipes.
This one time, at Band Clamp.......
You’re the 🐐
let me guess u stuck the tail pipe where lol
It would ensure a better seal if you use muffler cement around the cut in the exhaust pipe and then install the pipe seal metal flange.

I know this is old but I think some of the clamps have special bolts that tighten to the right tension so you won’t crush your pipe .
Im gonna add a bead of copper rtv on both ends when i do mine's. Nice work btw
mr incredible yep, right at the pipe butt with high temp.
I do so. Only I put nickel anti seize and I put it at bolts to.
So the 2 " refers to the type of clamp you need based on the outer diameter of your exhaust?

Permatex has a high temp RTV sealant that does hold up long term for exhaust use.

Good idea to put a piece in there to seal it better. 👍
Can those things replace a 2" gap between exaust pipes?, Im considering cutting off the flang connectors on my exaust(broken&rusted bolts)..👋😕
Did it end up working? I’m in similar position right now.
Best modification for that truck, get rid of the converter!
It’s not a truck
How these works with motorcycle exhausts if you wanna expand pipes length with these?
Laceeessss ouuuuut!!!
It has to leak unless u apply sealant.

Yes
@@TaylorGangOrDie233 Many thanks my friend.
Uk prepper no problem
Why do they never start the fucking cars
too much babble
Who uses them torque wrenches any more them are no no grade 8 bolts that’s China shit the ones from summit are far better quality
