Speed Engineering Clamps


Recommended Posts

Speed engineering long tubes got delivered for my 17 6.2  today. Have new oem gaskets and arp bolts. What clamps would work best. I don’t think I’ll be able to use lap joint clamps at the collectors as I hoped. Once I slide the collector into the y pipe it is basically touching the o2 bung. Driver and passenger side both are like this. Not really wanting to weld them if not completely necessary. Has anyone had any luck finding clamps that actually work?

You don't have to slide it that far up the header. Only about 1-2in is needed, just enough to make sure the slotted ends of the y-pipe are over the header tube.

 

I always use band clamps when possible, unless the headers come with really nice clamps already. Speed Engineering headers come with cheap china clamps that either work okay or just strip the bolts right away.

 

Nice band clamps with my impact gun always make a tight seal.
