Default Muffler fitment issue

Has anyone had issues with putting slp loudmouths on lg super pro header/x-pipe system? I cannot get a tight, firm fit. The clamp was a tight as it could go, I even snapped a bolt trying to get it tight enough. Any solutions/suggestions?

Not with the same exhaust combo but I had to remove the little block on my accuseal clamp to make my obx pipes hold tight to the tail pipes. Be warned that this will pinch the pipes and make them slightly out of round if tighten it enough...this could create a leak too, but I just used some of that orange tailpipe sealant to resolve that.

The "X" you mentioned is a real piece of crap. It doesn't line up for schitt and the tip will be misaligned also.

OP............take the stupid spacer out of the middle of the bolt that sits between the two tabs.

FWIW! I'm still waiting on the vender to send me a CORRECT "X" for my car. Not holding my breath on that one.
