very important: Both steel and stainless mufflers must have room to move, there is a great deal of thermal expansion. Failure to allow the tail pipe to move through the clamp will result in cracking or failure of the muffler at the tail pipe connection to the muffler, it will also cause bending of the exhaust manifold and will most definitely cause miss alignment of the rear exhaust outlet to the engine block. Requiring installation of a new manifold. Most reproduction tail pipe clamps i have seen cannot be adjusted to allow for this expansion, they are made to small and not to the original specifications.

Keep your tail pipe clamp loose and you will not have any problems.
