Title: Step Down Clamp-Where To Source?
Post by: Scoobum on July 07 2016, 09:27:49 AM

Stopped by my local speed shop yesterday. I need a step down muffler clamp for the DP to test pipe. OD of the test pipe is 3.25 and the OD of the DP is 3.00. I need a clamp with an ID of 3.00 going up to an ID of 3.25. My speed shop can't find one that size. Any help sourcing one would be appreciated.

Brad are you sure you don't just need a 3" lapband clamp?

Jeremy...what I need is something that transitions from an ID of 3 to 3.25. The link says 3.00...but doesn't say what it transitions too.

Brad did you try a muffler shop?  I'm sure there is a band clamp that would work

I'll just go back to beer cans and gear clamps. :)

Walker Mega Clamp 33272 is what you need.  I use these on all flared connections.
