try a hydraulics supply house for heavy duty constant torque clamps. they're expensive, but they won't slip.

well i have finally replaced the clamps on the SD manifold with some t-bolt clamps so now i can give her h*ll. exhaust is almost hooked up. BTW the ATS downpipe sucked for hookin up to the rext. I hope their second bunch of downpipes are much better.

i actually made my own front pipe. i took a piece of 4" pipe and i got a 4" straight connector. i had to slice the connector in the center well over half way then make a slice in the top. so i could correct the angle that the downpipe was off. then i cut a 1" wide piece off my 4" pipe and made a slice in it. i took that slice and welded it around the connector coverin up the cut where i made the bend. then i took a piece of 3/8" thick steel and made the 4 bolt flange part by drilling out the holes and cuttin the pipe section out with a torch. welded the pipe to the flange and throw a clamp where the connector slide on the downpipe and that does it.

can you believe that what i had to go through for exhaust?

I had received my 4" MBRP front pipe but it wouldnt work either so im gonna send it back and get my $122 back...LOL

So this would be a 'custom' exhaust? This turbo upgrade is definitely not for the faint at heart.:exactly:
