X pipe clamp coming loose?

[99gtp]

Does anyone have this problem with their exhaust? I have a ford racing sport cat back and my clamp around the x pipe keeps coming loose every couple thousand miles. Is there any other aftermarket clamps I should get ? I really don't want to weld to get rid of this issue from coming back.

I've only heard about this happening a short while after you install, because of the first heat -cool cycles. Are you sure your tightening the bolts tight enough? Maybe try some lock tight on the threads.

do to heat cycling the clamps have expanded a little bit. They should seal if you tighten them down again. Since yours continue to come loose you can remove it apply some red lock tight to the bolt and tighten it down again or you could get a get similar exhaust clamps from aftermarket suppliers like Jegs, summit racing, and American muscle.

I would suggest either lock washers or locking nuts.
