Hi i just put 5 inch on my truck and i was wondering if i need to weld the exhasut or will just bolting it up really tight work ok.

 

thats how there made to go on. bolted

 

thank you.

 

your welcome

 

Do yourself a favor and bolt it together with these step clamps:

Aluminized SealClamp 5" Pre-Formed

You should be able to get them at just about any truck supply place.

If you ever want or need to take it apart you can. Once you use a regular clamp like this:

U-Bolt Exhaust Clamp 5"

Youre hooped.

 

yeah, tell me about it, its a pain in the neck, bet the band style clamps

 

Dr. Evil is 100% correct the flat strap type clamps are the only way to go. Anything that pinches will cause you so much aggrevation you will likely have to cut it off.

 

that is the reason i like magnaflow.

 

You dont want the flat ones either. You want the ones like in the pic - it has a step in it where the transition of the two pipes is. It works better at keeping the pipes from moving around. JMO.

 

If you can get them. I had trouble getting my flat ones for my 4" - the truck shops only had 5, 6 and 7"
