LT1 Header Clamps advice
I have 1 7/8” headers on my Camaro and have gotten better walker clamps for everything but for around the collectors, is there anyone that has upgraded these clamps and what exactly did you use?
Thanks! |

what brand are these for? if they are the kooks you need to torque the band clamps to 40ft lbs and alternate as you tighten. If you over tighten it will not seal properly and leak.

If you can go the v-band route, it’s the best way to go no doubt
