I bought triple lake pipes, they came with a type of long C CLAMP WHICH CROME AS THE PIPE IS ,HAS ANYONE USED THIS TYPE .

Generally not, as those types of chrome band mounts can be seen. Most of our customers have them mounted by a muffler shop where they are welded on from the backside. This makes for a strong, sturdy mount and cannot be seen unless you're under the car.

Of course the band type will work, but I'm not sure how or where you would attach them?

Here's a "How-To" for the way we do it:

I used the clamps of course, cause i am different.
there is a curve and a ridge in the channel. i put a 3 in long sheet metal screw there and then a smaller 2 in on the body toward the inside.

did that on front and back so 4 screws holding it in place

the pics arent that great and i was having to do them w/o a lift.

See - that CJ knows his stuff! :one:

Glad you got the info you needed...

I have a question about the Laker pipes. I know that the rear hole is capped, but can you take the two front ones off. Maybe cut them off to have the tree holes on each pipe. I love the look of the triple lakers, but if you can't get all the holes working for the exhaust than I'll stick with getting the slant tip pipes.

The rear outlet is part of the whole length of pipe. The other two outlets bolt-on and do not have openings to the pipe itself. If you want to make your side pipes functional, I would recommend going with the Slant Tip Ovals.

Hope it helps,

Thanks Mike.
