Which bandclamps to get for Milltek 3" exhaust....
1. JC Whitney (www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/ProductDisplay/s-10101/p-920/c-10101)

3. Torc USA (www.torcausa.com/AccuSeal.htm)
Archives have all three listed. Wondering what the consensus is these days. I've got a leak at the Y-pipe junction after installing over the weekend. Also, which sizes and how many each do I need (2x2.0", 2x.2.5", 1x3.0")?? TIA.

I would like to re-clamp mine... going to take pics this week and post, too low still
My exhaust is hanging perfectly... but the clamps scrape my driveway and I'd like to find a more effective solution.
I ordered clamps from JC and they were awesome, but I didnt get all of the correct sizes, so had to use Pep-boys clamps to finish up the job. may replace these to gain more clearance.

If you are using the adapter pipes to mate with a stock diameter downpipe...
You need:
(2x) 2.25" clamps
(2x) 2.5" clamps
(2x) 3" clamps
to replace all of the Milltek clamps.

I like the JC Whitney ones. As long as they're plenty wide to cover the junction, you'll be fine.
As for number and sizing, just count the number of junctions and note the pipe diameter - there's your tally.
FWIW, I ended up using two sets of clamps per pipe after the cats to get that reducer pipe on there also (when using stock DPs) so don't forget about those as well.
