exhaust connection question...
so changing the connection of my over axle pipe on my car. its currently a slip-fit type pipe with an old style exhaust clamp. had to cut the pipe with a sawzall just to get the muffler out because couldnt get the joint to separate. so now so i dont wanna deal with that ever again i want to change the connection type and it needs to compact in size so i know about the v-clamps but also found this style and was wondering if anyone has ever used them and how they worked if so. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/su...2-ss/overview/ . v clamps would work great but its going to be more work because they dont have any pipe attached to them so id have to get extra pipe to use them and make that work. and v clamps are going to be triple the price..

The mid pipes on my ARH exhaust uses that type of joint and it seems to work well. I had it apart a few times and it seals well when reinstalled.

I have a V band clamp assembly if you wanna mock it up under there Beckster. They come with pipe on each side, you just butt weld it to the exhaust.
Stainless though.

They are a Summit house brand clamp.
Gonna see how well they seal if I can figure out SS to mild steel welding.

You can go two ways: Weld it just like mild steel. The joint will be prone to rust, just like mild steel. Weld it like stainless steel, joint will be rust-resistant.
Nothing too magical.
