Also do you use any exhaust paste on silencer joints?

Shouldn't need any if assembled correctly.

Where do you get the clamps?

Thanks wicky

Where do you get the clamps?

Fleabay or online specialist stainless fittings shop

As the diameter of the header / link pipe interface might differ if you have aftermarket link pipes instead of standard its best use some string to get the approx circumference & calculate the diameter of the clamps you require (or if you have the system off just use a ruler)

Best are the W4s as they are fully stainless, whereas with the cheaper W2s the bolt is galvanized and will eventually perish.
