Where to buy clamp for Corsa?
I just realized I'm missing one clamp for my Corsa cat bat! I think it was lost in shipping because the box it was in was torn open a little.
The clamps are made by a company named Torca. The product name is DuraSeal 2 and they do have a part number stamped on them. No, Corsa doesn't make their own clamps.

So where can I buy a clamp? Anyone know a retailer that sells Torca products? In Canada?
Thanks

Good question as I need two myself.
I'm going to the local parts store to see if there is an alternative.

Go to NAPA, they have "band clamps" from 1.5" up to 5"
They are better than the clamps Corsa sends anyway.

Those clamps are also know as accuseal clamps. Go to this website and call them. They have them in various sizes. This is my source for them

If you bought it new Corsa will replace it.
I broke one of the bolts when I installed mine and Corsa sent me a replacement.
Oh, and when I first got mine it was missing the lubricant, and they overnighted that to me.

I installed a B&B catback and once I had it just like I wanted, I removed it and had it welded just like the OEM catback. This looks better and doesn't move or shift like some clamps allow when hitting bumps. And you can remove the entire catback by removing 10 bolts. I found a S/S welder and it all came out very nice.

Yea, still getting stuff arranged though. I've got the car over at Jeb's place in Little Rock having an Accel DFI Gen 7 installed.

I emailed Torco, but no amswer.

You won't get much of an answer from TORCO. I tried and actually spoke with them. They sell to large end users only, but if you want to buy them buy the gross they would sell them to you The guy at Grand Rock sells them. But they are not the SS versions. They are aluminized and look nearly as good. I have then on my B&B system and you can't tell the difference between the two.

I found stainless Torca Accuseal clamps at a local big rig Truck Parts supplier. They are not as heavy duty as the Duraseal clamps but they look plenty strong to me. The best part is they only cost $4 Cdn each...that's about $3 US.
