    I installed my Borla band clamps last night. Much, much better. They are about 4 or 5 inches wide and have two bolts, one that clamps to each section. It seals much better. I hope it helps hold the dang connecting pipes to the cats when I drag them, but I'm sure I will find out for sure soon.

    You could also just tack weld the pipes on. Sounds to me like you're sitting a bit too low though.

    Believe it or not, I'm actually at stock height. Still drags on shit, such as my driveway and these gigantic speed bumps at the local shops.

    I like to swap out cats periodically, such as when I need to pass inspection, so I don't want it welded,
