Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

If I went with the EasySeal, I assume 4 would be required (exhaust to c-pipe, c-pipe to test pipe X2)??

If you use the easy clamps, you should only need two - headers to cat pipes is a different setup, should only need them for bypass pipes to cat back.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes folks, sorry, its a quicky. I just purchased the Circuit Werks secondary cat bypass pipes, and, while I was at it decided to also buy the exhaust system too .....the question revolves around clamps, should I reuse the stock clamps on the c-pipe, or, just take them off and go with the Torca EasySeal Clamps. If I went with the EasySeal, I assume 4 would be required (exhaust to c-pipe, c-pipe to test pipe X2)?? Regards, Jake.

POST 2Original post

Good move! I installed the Circuit Werks bypass pipes and Beluga Racing cat back - personally I reused the original clamps with no problems at all. If you use the easy clamps, you should only need two - headers to cat pipes is a different setup, should only need them for bypass pipes to cat back.
