Exhaust Clamp ?

[MikeNick]

SO as I'm trying to redo this bike I decided to replace these cheesy ass orange rubber clamps with these pretty aluminum ones and the damn pipe is a hair too big for the rubber bushing..The ebay ad says they fit all pipes...Is there any trick for me to get these fuckers squeezed up on the pipe...

Use a dremel or a piece of sand paper to open up the hole a little

Hm..Never thought about that..Thanks man..

[Paddleboy]

actually the add says fits MOST pipes haha. or maybe try a little grease

just shoot a little wd40 or liquid soap on them, they should slide right on, they are a whore to get on with no lube. rubber doesnt slide well on metal

dont go grinding at them with a dremel just yet..you want them to be tight, i had the same problem with RIS design ones and t5 pipes, they are a bitch to get on dry, use a little lube

Michael Jackson says to "use a little lube"...

 

Classic. At least he's talking to an adult (as far as we know) :biggrin:

 

Anyways, he's right...as usual.

Well I'll be 25 in November so I'm legally an adult, BUT I don't really act like it... :biggrin:

Hey man I fucked those damn sleeves up...Tried the dremel thing and took too much out...Where did you get them at..Im so pissed I cant even see straight right now..Paid $45 dollars for those bastards and yeah fuckin don't fit right...Im 100% sure even if I had greased them up prior to using the dremel there's no way in hell that silencer pipe end was going inside that. I guess thats why the ad said most pipes...Just my fuckin luck I reckon.. :mad:

I have a set like that and they are a bitch. i got the rubber on by hand but WD40 would have bin better. then i got a wide flat head screwdriver and put the head of it in the clamp part and turned the driver so it spread some so i could slip it on.

you could also heat up the rubber to make it flex easier.

I agree here, get some good hot water an put them in for a few min. This might soften up the rubber just enough. Dont try a flame cause you wount heat them evenly an you will just end up catching them on fire.
