My first experience with SS band clamps was decades ago on my trucks. I really like them, I haven't used a u bolt clamp in years. I've used numerous brands, never found any noticeable differences.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I used the ones from Summitt. They may have been Pypes brand. But I liked them real well.

that's kind of interesting to hear about the turning issue. my tailpipes have a flat tab welded to them that is used as a hanger, so i shouldn't have to worry about them turning. thanks for the suggestions guys !

I use them on my cars too. I also put a small spot weld on the tube and muffler to stop them from moving. A quick hit with an angle grinder is all it takes to separate them when needed.

I like your short bolt thought thats a good idea. I have only installed them with 100% silicone caulking inside the band then tighten them down. Have not installed a single u bolt style clamp since the first time I used a stainless band clamp

The original ones (the benchmarks) are made right here in Auburn Hills, MI. - Torca. They make the TorcTite, the EasySeal, the AccuSeal, & the DuraSeal. I brought the AccuSeals & DuraSeals into the mainstream aftermarket in the early 2000's before anybody had them. Nobody else carries the DuraSeals - they have always been OE only & they are the strongest lap-joint band clamp in the world. Here's my page on the clamps, *including the 2.5" butt-joint clamp the Torca Coupler: http://www.classicchambered.com/classic/AccuSeal.html The only other size the coupler is available is 3.5". I do not carry the thinwall TorcTites or EasySeals.
