Magnaflow Exhaust clamps

Hello all,

I've had the rattling Magnaflow problem since a couple weeks after I got it nearly 2 years ago. I finally just received a replacement resonator from Magnaflow, but they did not include the special exhaust clamps needed - which look similar to normal clamps, only they are two halves of a metal band with a bolt through each side. I called the guy at Magnaflow who sent me the new resonator, and he said I could pick up those clamps anywhere. Well, I've searched Auto Zone, Advance Auto, NAPA, and the local auto parts store, as well as online, and can't find them.

Anyone who knows what I'm talking about know where I can get some new ones?

I'm confused why you can't use the old clamp that was on there? Maybe I misunderstood.

But in any rate. Will this work? Link

I'm not sure why either but I have seen other similiar posts about needing new clamps for the new resonator. Someone will help us figure this out. Go NAM!

Mine are damaged from an off-road excursion I had at the dragon, and the bolts are rusted beyond recognition, heh.

I have these on my Magnaflow, they work great. Use Antisieze on the threads when you put them on.
