IE exhaust clamps

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if any of you IE exhaust owners are having the same problems I am. I love the system, the build quality and sound is awesome, except I am having trouble with the clamps, especially, the clamp connecting the resonator to the pipe going over the rear subframe, and the clamp holding up the tailpipe (side exit). My tailpipe keeps sagging, and the center section keeps coming loose. Are there any other clamps that I can use? Loctite?

TIA,

Mark

Mine was doing the same thing. Actually my center-res section eventually broke apart. (so get things tightened up and supported)

After having the center section replaced with a long-narrow one, I had all of the connections spot welded to keep them from turning or coming loose again.

I threw the IE clamps away and got proper 2 piece exhaust clamps...the same style as the OE BMW clamps and all my issues were solved. Or tack weld it as mentioned above
