good clamp for stainless exhaust?

[James G.]

I've used the clamp with the asbestos liner and in just almost no time the rattle is back again. The liner wears or falls out. I'm told the stainless expands more than stock so needs the liner.
Help, what is the answer to stop this rattle. Thanks Jim G.

'Throw away the asbestos liner and use a clamp with a rubber section between the frame and the tail pipe.

I have had this happen too. Very annoying. I solved it by wrapping a layer of cling wrap around the part of the pipe that sits in the clamp (might have to use adhesive tape), then install the clamp with a spacer on the bolt so it doesn't do up as far as intended. Leave it lose. Then, I load the area between clamp and pipe with silicone and do it up. Once it has cured, you can drive in silence. The cling wrap will melt away after doing its job of preventing the silicone adhering to the pipe, allowing the pipe to slip through the clamp in silence. Silicone will easily handle the temperatures back there.
I did that about 25,000 miles ago.
