Default Exhaust clamp question

<center><img src="http://images.channeladvisor.com/Sell/SSProfiles/22001003/Images/TorcTite-1.jpg"></center><p>With Autospeed dp's and a UUC Vm3, are all the clamp sizes 2.25"? So, the connection between the dp's and the catback, and the connection between the 2 parts of the cat-back.

Other than the v-band clamp, of course.

Default I tried that meeting my apr dp's and awe exhaust did not work.....

I got a major exhaust leak with the band clamp, I just ended up welding them.

Default I've got a real bad exhaust leak on the pass. side

So, why didn't it work? What clamp and size did you use? I want to stay away from welds as much as possible, because I have testpipes to swap in and out.

I used the 55mm clamps from ECS on my ASP/Borla set-up. No leaks.
