questions on installing the top right clamp (exhaust)
this is for the 2002 mini cooper s
the top right exhaust clamp got rusted out. right now these parts are removed: two rubber exhaust hangers, top and bottom clamp.
i included an attachment with the part highlighted in yellow.
the question is, can i somehow squeeze that part in around the resonator? have anyone here done it before without removing other parts? i have no experience in removing the bumper or loosening the long exhaust pipe near the catalytic converter(removing rusted screws)
the reason i ask is because the part will not arrive until the 22nd and the original clamp is split in half due to rust, stupid me for saving 2 dollars on shipping!

I just finally replaced the entire cat back with a JCW one. Got a good deal in the Marketplace and it is stainless so I hope that it will last more than the 100,000 miles that the OEM exhaust did. Now if only I can find tips for that new exhaust of mine.
