Exhaust clamp size.

[mockingbird812]

FWIW - I talked to a muffler shop manager today and he stated that industry standard is that <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">exhaust pipe uses OD </span></span>to indicate its size for clamps and <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">mufflers use ID</span></span>. So a 2 1/4&quot; exhaust clamp will fit over a muffler inlet/outlet with a 2 1/4&quot; ID. In other words the 2 1/4&quot; clamp will accomodate the larger (actually measured at 2 3/16&quot outside diameter of the muffler inlet/outlet.

Anybody buy Ricks or Steves clamps pictured above?

Thanks

Sam, how much additional do you add for the muffler bearings?

I hear these take up quite a bit of additional room underneath, let alone for the increase exhaust size.

Uh, Sam....last time I checked, 2 3/16&quot; was actually <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">smaller</span></span> than 2 1/4&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif[/img]
