330 GTC EXHAUST CLAMPS

Hi Guys:

I have a nasty exhaust leak that I could hear and confirmed with the car up on the lift. It is on the right side where the header meets the ANSA pipes. The clamps on there now(not sure what they are, or where they came from) are not doing the job. They are currently placed too far forward, and I believe allowing the leak, as the left side is leak free using the same clamps.

I know the correct clamps are really hard to come by, but would like to know what everyone is using, or what a good substitute is? I need to seal up this leak, as thenoise is so annoying. Covered it up with a towel while running on the lift, and noise gone.

Anybody have any ideas? Will relgualr old clamps do the job?

 

Good point. I asked a small local shop to try that. He says they are wrong and I need new ones. I think the fix could be as simple as moving them back. Maybe I will get the car up on jack stands and see if it can do it myself. the bolts and clamps are pretty rusty, but i think I can get em off. Wanted to replace them anyway to get rid of the rust factor. it won't be long before it starts eating into the pipe. I inspected the pipe and it looks good. no obvious holes, or slits.
