Default Just got my Forge exhaust.. Should I use the clamps that came w/ it?
Or should I get some better clamps from an auto parts store? Any installation suggestions?

I'm psyched to get this thing installed!

no, get band clamps from a store. The ones it comes with leak bad!

Default I thought one of the selling points from those selling the Forge....
...exhaust was that they were using superior clamps to those that come with the Milltek. Was I mistaken?

The clamps that came with it are just a band clamp with a bolt on one side. They look pretty cheap..

Default Peter said this is the case. I would use them and see.
Peter told me they changed the clamps because people like me were bitching that the exhaust kept leaking.

Where did you get it, and how much, if you don't mind...deciding between it and Milltek

Default I am looking at the Forge and in talking with a
distributor they said to use their clamps, they are the update ones that don't leak.
