not sure on the link, but get the v-band clamps. those work the best. you need two of them, one for the driver's side and one for the passenger side

If you can i'd get these welded on before you put the headers on. They will save you a lot of time in the future if you have to pull the ypipe off to do your shift kit or pull the tranny.



If not then just get these.



And ya you need 3"
