Hi,

I have a Supersprint Centre Pipe going to a Piper 3" backbox. The clamp I was using was never really any good and its now broken after I took it off to sort out an exhaust blow. So what is the best clamp to buy as it needs to be one that clamps over both the lips securely? One like this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PEUGEOT-CITROEN-RENAULT-EXHAUST-CLAMP-85MM-CNP18_W0QQitemZ140322117458QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_C arsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item20abd99752&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14)?

Cheers for any help,

Matthew.

Yes mate that one will be fine! Have just replaced my exhaust clamp with the exact same one!

However when i first placed it over it looked way to big, but actaully fits snug once tighten well! Peice of advice, dont tighten it up prior to actually fitting it as thats what i did when trying it out and was a nightmare to get on afterwards because it bent into shape! I used some firegum in the clamp aswell just to make doubly sure that it would be sealed nicely!:y: I will get some pics up in a sec!

This was the old clamp, think it's safe to say that it has seen better days..

And then replaced with the new clamp using firegum in the seal to make it nice and secure

Pic, just showing centre pipe with exhaust removed, i put some wd40 on the rim just to clean it up and clear it from rust

Then just tighten up the clamp and i placed some more firegum around, looks a little messy but just ensures its all nice and secure
