I see why you can not re-use the stock clamp because they are welded on! LOL!
But, sadly, Magnaflow sent the wrong clamp...one is correct but the other is AccuSeal 69.9mm and according to their site is for a 2 3/4" joint and will not work on a 3" pipe although I did try hard before coming in to look it up.
I called MF and I have to say speaking with Gerard from MF was similar to smashing your finger with a hammer...
MF: well, we have never had a problem with the hardware in our kits and you should just go buy new clamps but your bigger problem is I don't recognize where you purchased from and therefore it is probably not a genuine MF part. ME: Um, OK, so you are telling me no one has ever called in to you on any kit b/c you sent wrong parts? I really find that hard to believe...MF: well, send me your receipt and we will evaluate your claim and IF VALID we will ship you the correct clamps in 1-2 weeks! ME: You can not correct your mistake faster than 1-2 weeks? MF: No, and I don't believe this is our mistake. ME: The part no. written on the clamp states on the manufacturers site it is for a 2 3/4" joint...your product is a 3" diameter tubing, how can that not be your mistake? MF: This is most likely not our part. ME: Well, this has not been helpful but I will send the receipt.
Sure, I can go to the parts store and probably will but so disappointed with MF service level...
