Is it okay to use v-band clamps on mufflers to connect it to the rest of my exhaust?
Well, i'm in the process of shopping for mufflers to make a custom exhaust for my car, and i was wondering, can i use v-bands to connect the pieces together? It'd be around a 3" downpipe, to a 2.5" mid-pipe, to two mufflers. Could i use a v-band to connect the downpipe to the y-pipe, and where the piping ends and the mufflers start? I mean, i know theoretically i can use them, but would it be a good idea to? This is so i could quickly remove the exhaust, in case i have to work on the car, or simple to swap it out. Maybe instead of mufflers, i could swap in straight pipes. Thanks in advance!
NO don't. You will never get them tight enough. Go to the muffler shop and have them put those 1/4 inch horse shoe clamps also tack weld the fittings on the pipe to the muffler, or you will be constantly have problems coming disconnected, or have them weld flange fitting. one on each end, then bolt them together.
