Clamps... if welded and you ever need to service anything under the car that requires exhaust removal - have fun with a welded H or X....

Roush must be using the Chinezium clamps.
Accu Seal uses a 10mm 10.9 T-bolt. Any machinery handbook has the proper fastener torque value.

Steeda’s spec :

Yike, no wonder there’s discussions on weld tacking clamp joints, sagging exhaust systems and stuff not staying aligned after several heat cycles.

Borla is at 35 ft lbs.
At least Borla is 5 ft lbs closer to Accu Seals 40 to 60 ft lbs. range.

bolt torque isn't as big deal as thickness/strength of the band material.
Steeda's paper-thin band material isn't going to work any better at 40+ft/lb than it does at 25.

Update: h pipe + muffler delete axelbacks is loud. Sounds beastly.

I did like how much louder it got. But Im disappointed on the sound. Sounds more like an X pipe than a deep rumble like I was expecting from an H pipe.

then the rest of your system choices is suspect. I have the Borla Touring with H-pipe instead of the resonators and it's the farthest thing from x-pipe nasty raspiness.

I love me some x-pipe nasty raspiness.

All I have is the H pipe. The rest is the stock AE set up. I got this just so it can hold me off to get a full system. But then again my last car was full Kooks from tip to tail, so I might be holding my bar of expectation a little too high.

I ordered brass locking exhaust nuts for my band clamps because they kept coming loose. After double nutting no more issues.

That’s probably why. I’ve heard that the stock AE have a sort of tinny sound with any x or h pipe.

For anyone wondering this is the exact exuast setup I have love me some h pipe lol.

No, did get louder, still not loud enough. But more rasp that throaty or deep.
