I'd like to do ball clamps, but I don't think that there is enough room between my collectors and the cats, it's pretty tight...

Well, anybody? People recommend these things all of the time, but nobody has actually used them? Somebody has to know if they work or not?

V-bands work very well. I have them on my turbo kit and down pipe, have not had any problems. My kit was built in '05.

Well eventually I'll be ditching the Y-Pipe and putting in an X-pipe and true duals, so I'm looking for ease of removal of the front pipes and cat back. I'm honestly not looking forward to removing the y-pipe when I do my trans, the left side was a real tight fit and required some "persuasion" to install, I know it's going to be a bear to get apart, but I'm going to get it good and warm before I remove it
