those clamps are fine... when you aren't cranking them on with an air impact so tight they break LOL

Yeah, the clamps should of held up I guess, but the guy said the pipes were still moving when and tried to go tighter the clamps broke because the stainless is fairly hard steel!
They only charged me 1.50$ for each clamp they used of theirs! 115$ total for installation including oil/filter change!

yea, saddle clamps are crap... band clamps are the way to go... if we use saddle clamps at The Garage, we'll tack weld each seam to give it a little bit extra strength... and yea, probably shoulda got a resonator... easy to fix that though... measure the length of the straight piece after the two bolt flange and call up The Garage and we can ship you a resonator that you just cut into the straight part and clamp it down like your exhaust pipes
