1.What is exhaust clamp

the exhaust clamp is a simple metal clip designed to hold the different components of the exhaust system together and seal together. They have different shapes and sizes to fit different types of exhaust pipes and can usually be tightened or loosened as needed.

2. Choose the exhaust clamp seriously

In any vehicle, pipes in the exhaust system are usually welded together. however, in some cases, exhaust grippers that connect these pipes together will still be found, especially when replacing the pipes with aftermarket pipes. Here, the exhaust clamp just serves a purpose of fixing different components together. Although its function is simple, the exhaust clamp still plays an important role in the system. Without it, the exhaust gas will escape, which is very dangerous. So please take the exhaust clamp seriously!

3.Precautions for choosing exhaust clamps

The exhaust clamp has a variety of styles and can be used with different types of pipe connections. Twenty years ago, car repair shops were usually able to use a single standard load of exhaust clamps as a universal solution. However, newer exhaust systems render this practice obsolete and ineffective. Treating all exhaust clamps as interchangeable can cause safety and other problems. The use of incorrect clamps on modern vehicles may affect, for example: 

Sealing – The wrong fixture can cause the exhaust seal to loose, resulting in poor fuel economy, high emissions and, in some cases, dangerous exhaust fumes into the engine room.

Durability – The service life of some grippers is longer than that of others, and it is easy to turn silencers into road hazards if the wrong grippers are used. 

Maintainability – The fixture is detachable and can repair vehicle parts near the silencer without damaging the exhaust system of the vehicle.
