Default Need opinions. Help a brotha out, will ya?

So, I get the Milltek exhaust. Many people suggest getting aftermarket clamps for it. So, I found these. The thing is, they are almost 3 inches wide(as opposed to a little over 1 inch for the clamps that come with it). It makes me wonder what the negative would be if I used them.
Do I use them, or not?

Default why do you put twins up for everything???? :)....I like the force distributed on a smaller....

clamping area...I don't like those clamps you got. The Borla 1" ones are good.

I only bought the 2.5 and 3 inch versions. The 2.25 double band clamp, I was going to leave as is.

Default I'm using a Canon S100. I like it - decent pics, and it's so small, it can fit into almost ...

any pocket.
