fixed my turbo-back exhaust leak today...
i stopped by renn-art again today to replace some clamps, that we figured were kinda shot, which was causing a leak with my turbo-back setup. got some replacement clamps and metal donuts from AWE. they ended up costing about $150, WTF? just for 2 clamps and metal donuts. oh well, whateva it takes to fix the leak...
here is a pic of my Neuspeed Exhaust

and here is a pic of the two clamps (these are the old ones), which we replaced. we found a leak right there (after the primary cats, and before the seconday cats with the O2 sensors), which was popping some codes and CELs.

does anyone know of any better clamps to use here (in the pic below), which connects the cats of the AWE DPs to the Neuspeed exhaust? it also seems i have a very small leak here that i could live with, but would rather some better clamps to mate the two pipes together.

damn, I have the same exact problem and haven't got around to it, :P
I have the same exhaust and problem, and you can't just get any clamps, it must bet the right one. I had a few people try to fix it while tuning/fixing my car but nobody has the right clamps.
