I've tried looking but can't find an answer. What size U clamps will I need to fit a Mangnex cat back exhaust?I bought 2x 2" 3/8 as that's what I thought I needed but they're too small for the pipe that joins the centre and back. |

You'd be right too.Fitted it tonight but no right happy with the fit so gonna tweak it tomorrow. I'm getting a bit of hissing under load so it's leaking somewhere too (I'm guessing from the cat / centre join). Oh well, practice makes perfect. |

I hate sleeve joints. They are a right bugger to stop from leaking.________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

Bit of paste spread around cat to centre and the centre to backbox joints before sliding together will sort it.If it is the cat to manifold joint, you will want a new ring. About £18 for the fitting kit which comes with new bolts and springs too. ________________________________________  |

I used a "Mikalor W2 Supra Clamps 63 to 68mm - Stainless Steel" for the centre to rear box joint on my magnex, and a 51-55mm version for the cat to centre section joint. They are wide and allow a good constant torque around the clamp. I bought mine on ebay.Martin ________________________________________ - Maxi rear axle hub spacers +53mm per side- Maxi front steering rack extensions +40mm per side |
