splurge for stainless misalignment if you ever plan on pulling those bolts without cutting them.  or maybe some anti seize would do it.  we have had terrible luck on matts car and most had to be cut out.

Thanks for the tip!  Didn't think I would need anything since not seeing NY salt.  Anti-sieze worked on the Rubicon; I'll try that.

I used exhaust band clamps a lot. They're not exactly reusable. I usually impact them down until there's no gap. I remember the packaging says to torque them to spec but it's way too low IMHO. I cut them off to disassembly. I'll not go back to the crummy u-bolt clamps again.

Two band clamps per side.  One middle split butt joint and one lap joint at muffler.  Seems pretty solid.


ps: there are different designs of band clamps and the one you pictured is one of the better designs.
