upgrand 5" exhaust with band clamps

[chevyman_2000]

I got the exhaust off and have sanded it down, gotta get it enamel coated and put back on using these:




My question is how do I get the original MBRP clamp hangers on these? Or do I have to weld them onto the pipe?

Use the MBRP hangers where needed and just use these at the joints of the exhaust.

I was kind of hoping to swap them all out.

you can build new hangers that bolt to the 2 bolts of your clamp. a small 1/2" or so wide flat bar, drill holes for the bolts on the clamp, weld a hanger rod whatever shape needed to the flat bar. I usually use 1/2" rod. Then once the hanger rod is bent and welded to the flat bar, I paint the hanger then attach to clamp and clamp to the exhaust. Hope that may help.

that's a killer Idea. Thanx man!

Glad I could help! I make hangers many times when I modify exhaust kits for custom suspensions, larger spare tires, etc.

This is why I bought Magnaflow. Their kit comes with band clamps and hangers are much better quality IMO.
