How do you put back a cut H-Pipe?
I want to put back my cut H-pipe... is there an easy way to do this without welding? Ecklers has these band strap type clamps (see link below) that will mate the cut pipes... Anyone know of another way?
Thanks for any info...

I have an MN6 with Corsa Indy's, Corsa X-pipe and SLP headers. The X-pipe did nothing - not even reduce the popping, etc. The headers lowered the tone of my exhaust a lot and it really sounds great now.
The 3/4" diameter stock H crossover will do absolutely nothing for your car. If you want a deeper exhaust tone, install a set of long tube headers. Save yourself the $275 for an X-pipe (not worth the $$) and dump that limp di_k 3/4" H pipe that came on your car - it's worthless.
Lastly, the A4's do not have near the level of exhaust popping, etc that the MN6's have due to computer controlled shifts, etc. Since you have the GHL's on the car, a set of headers would be perfect for deeper tone. Plus you would actually gain a few RWHP - exhaust alone will not add anything.
Lastly, about the only way you are going to be able to reinstall that limp di_k crossover tube is to have it welded back in place. Clamping will only work if you can flare the ends to allow a slip-fit. Otherwise, lots of exhaust leaks and gasping noise (not you, the car).
