    Default Adjustable end clamps for J tube?

    I made my own exhaust this weekend by piecing together some craigslist buys. I deleted the mid muffs and resonators, put in an H tube with Flowmaster rear mufflers. Drone was pretty bad, so I made J tubes using the formulas found here. It is MUCH better, very happy and thank you to all that contributed to those forums.

    So my question, I'd like to put on some adjustable end clamps on the J tubes and see if I can further reduce the drone. Where can I get these? I've looked around and am not seeing what I need.

    Thanks!
    Steve

    The J tubes I had for my Flowmasters were clamped on. That way they could be slid in or out to get the correct frequency.
    Rest in Peace Charlie!

    Yeah that's what I am looking for. I can't find those clamps anywhere. I just welded a cap on, but I'd like to be able to fine tune and adjust them a bit.

    Any muffler shop can get you a clamp. Autozone. It's just a c clamp.
    Rest in Peace Charlie!
