I have LTH LTs and a Ford Racing Borla catback.

I have a leak where they join (pipe diameters are the same).

I can hear it when driving and it also stinks (catless LTs).

What are the best exhaust clamps out there? Right now I'm using then OEM clamps that came with the car from Ford.

I would like to get it fixed asap :)

Thanks

Dumb question, but I swap the H pipe for an X semi regularly..... Will using the exhaust paste make that impossible or messy?

I'd like to avoid pastes etc if possible.... Was wondering if a better/nicer clamp existed.

I and several members here have used these for resonator deletes.

The stuff becomes dust-dry under heat, you can then very easily clean it off with a wire brush when you disassemble it again.
I used to think so too, but with a little Firegum it will seal right up.
Saves time, work and annoyance.
Just do not take too much, the stuff swells up!

I posted this yesterday on another thread, it may help :

Just a note for the UK guys who are looking for better clamps :like:

I struggled to find the Norma / Torca clamps over here, but after a little digging :

https://turbozentrum.co.uk/Exhaust-...MI7r6PqsHh-QIVMFmkBB1gIwMgEAEYASACEgI5X_D_BwE

They only had one in stock, but they offered an alternative from 'Boost Products' :

https://turbozentrum.co.uk/Exhaust-sleeve-clamp-HQ-long-635-mm-BOOST-products

Turns out TurboZentrum was very close to my third office so I took a trip in to compare the products.

When we viewed the two products side by side we both agreed, one had defo copied the other. The design of the stainless clamp (even down to the keyways on the internal sleeve) was absolutely identical, maybe even from the same tooling. The only difference between them was the name stamps on the outside of the camp and the make of the bolts and hardware (although the design is the same with oval headed splined 10.9 bolts).

Some photos compared to the Steeda clamps :

The Norma clamp was in 'Vibrant' packaging - I think that's the same make as the little muffles that get mentioned on here quite a lot ?

Note I am in no way linked with this company, just offering up what I found and giving the UK guys a potential option - BUT, when I turned up to check out the stock, there was a 17 mustang outside who belonged to the guy that served me. Nice chap, we had a good chat and he gave me a little discount on the sale, so that's a big thumbs up from me :sunglasses:

Interestingly and to do with my browsing history, these are the adverts on the bottom of the page whilst I'm typing this ... lol

Awesome, great tip.

Just found a European stockist of the Boost products in Germany and ordered a pair :)
