You do have to have two wrenches for those clamps. I tried every other option I could think of and ended up biting the bullet and spending the coin to get the clamps. I'm glad I did. I used a 14mm close ended wrench, 14mm socket wrench and my torque wrench to get the job done.
Good luck!

Well it looks like Im going to have to get them too, I tightened the clamps down all the way and all but one leaks
I have LG Streets and I too was having exhaust leaks. The clamps that were supplied with the headers wouldn't solve the issue so I bought Torctite clamps. I purchased 2x3" and 4x2.5" and it has solved the issue. The only trouble with these clamps is on one of the primaries you have to do a little "custom work" because of where the O2 sensor is. I also tightened them down to 37lb ft.
I hope that helps some.

Do you still have to use two wrenches for the torctite clamps on is one side fixed because that is my biggest problem with getting them tight. If they were like the ones that came with my slp catback then I dont think I would have a problem, Im just really dont want to spend another 100$ just for clamps as I would need 6 3 in clamps.

The OP should take a look at American Racing Headers. They have a ball socket type connection and eliminate the above issues.

Another thing the ARH headers help wit is lining everything up, I didnt have a problem with it just the leaks and I knew about the problems before I bought the system. What made me chose Lg is the fact that I can run a catted or an off road xpipe if I want with out having to buy anything extra.
