87sheerips Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 These things are big. I have like 5 sets of different clamps at home but they are all too small to fit over the diameter of the pipes, lol... What are you using? Quote
SAVAGE420 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 Jd, i use some cascade BB clamps and i shaved out a lil bit of the rubber and shoved them on. But i always hi temp silicone the connection before i clamp them as well. 100% seal, perfect fit, never leaks. I can take a pic if you need. Quote
FadedDreams Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 I used the stock clamps on mine with no problems. Quote
bansheerage Posted May 1, 2011 Report Posted May 1, 2011 I run those original rockets also and the rubber seems to be best if you dont want to spend a crazy amount for the bling bling ones lol. Savage420 what brand of silicone do you use?? Im going to try that because no matter what rubber/clamp combo I use I always get a tiny bit of oil that finds its way out. Thanks Quote

Thanks I always use Permatex Hi-Temp RTV Silicone for all my pipes, sled, dirtbike and quads. I just put some on the head pipe end where it meets the stinger end, then shove the stingers on. Then i lay a nice wide bead around the joints, let it sit for just a lil bit. Then i clamp my clamps on and they never leak or drip ever, good stuff. http://www.permatex.com/products/Automotive/automotive_gasketing/gasket_sealants/Permatex_Hi-Temp_RTV_Silicone_Gasket_Sealant.htm Quote
