Default Best source for replacement cat back exhaust clamps?

What are your experiences with replacement cat back exhaust clamps, I see some on amazon but wondering if any members here have advice before I buy. Thanks.

I went with Summit 3” wide stainless steel band clamps. They were affordable, high quality, and provided and excellent clamp/seal. That’s what I recommend going with if you’re replacing.

Thanks for the feedback. I will look there, the cat back I have is a slip joint to the over the axle pipes @ 2.6".

Shouldn't be a problem. Summit carries reducer band clamps as well. 3 to 2.5" for example.

I believe I have these on my GHLs at the over axle to muffler connections.

These are what I was referring to. They're meant specifically for slip joints and offer much better sealing. Also, they're stainless so they stay "nice" for a lot longer

Summit carries them in a variety of sizes as well.
