Title: Down pipe to backbox clamp size
Post by: zed4 on October 27, 2014, 09:12:54 am

Hi,

Stupidly I forgot to measure the size of the exhaust clamp I need last night so I hope someone may know. I need to replace the two clamps which secure the downpipe to the pipe which goes to the backboxes. I tried removing the downpipe yesterday to remove the precat, but these clamps were too badly rusted I couldn’t undo them, so I’ll need to cut them off.

It’s these clamps:

I think the stock pipe diameter is 2.75" if that helps.

We had this problem a couple of months ago while attempting the pre cat delete, I think this is the one your after.
