[QUOTE="AModelCat, post: 12377738, member: 167097"]Always new clamps. Flex pipe is spiral and I've had good luck trying to "thread" it on. I always put a wire wheel on my die grinder and cleaned all the rust and debris off the solid pipes. No idea if there are rules against not having flex pipe but I would for sure have a section of it, especially if you've got a truck with an air ride cab that has the exhaust hanging from the bottom of the cab. You need that flex where the cab pivots. Even on a truck with the exhaust under the frame you'd want that flexpipe because your stacks are usually attached to the cab. I know the top stack mounts can flex but you want a little bit of give on the pipe as well.[/QUOTE]
