I know this is sort of a mundane request, I'm at work and I just ordered my exhaust wrap. I was going to go ahead and order some stainless steel hose clamps too.

What size hose clamps are needed for the turbo manifold? I have a 3.5" downpipe, so that one is sorta obvious.

So I'll need 4, for the 2 piece downpipe. Then 1 for each exhaust runner and 2 more for the turbo mount and crossover mount. Then the crossover mount itself would need 4 clamps.

 

This one is 3.5-5.5" Downpipe?

What do you think? 2-3" for the exhaust manifold?

This one's 2.5-3.5". You think that would be in the range for the crossover pipe?

I just want to make sure I order the right ****.

 

Corey (BlackGMC) was using some steel bands that "crimp" as hose clamps. Hopefully he will chime in here and show what I'm talking about lol, they look very clean.

 

I used stainless steel wire. Just twist it and cut off the excess, no worries about it loosening like a clamp.

 

I use these stainless steel tie wraps. I buy them at Harbor Freight. they sell them in packs of 25 for about 4-5 bucks.

I snug them up and leave about an inch extra, then roll the end up with needle nose pliers. If I need to remove them, I just cut them off with metal snips and put new ones on when replacing them.

 

I finally had a chance to measure the hot parts.
