FAQs

What material is the Autogem Exhaust U-Bolt Clamp made from?

The clamp is constructed from high-quality electro-plated steel.

Are these clamps sold in sets?

No, the Autogem Exhaust U-Bolt Clamps are supplied individually.

How do I know which size clamp I need?

You should measure the outer diameter of the exhaust pipe and the connecting component to select the most appropriate clamp size from the available range.

Can this clamp be used for performance exhaust systems?

Yes, it can be used for performance exhaust systems, provided the correct size is chosen and it is suitable for the specific joint type.

What is the main benefit of electro-plated steel?

Electro-plated steel offers enhanced durability and resistance to corrosion compared to standard steel, leading to a longer product lifespan.

How often should I check the tightness of the clamp?

It is recommended to check the tightness of the clamp periodically, especially after initial installation or after significant driving, to ensure it remains secure.

Troubleshooting

Clamp does not fit snugly.

Ensure you have selected the correct size clamp for the exhaust pipes. If the clamp is too large, it will not provide a secure seal. Consider a smaller diameter clamp.

Difficulty tightening the nuts.

Check that the U-bolt threads are not damaged or corroded. Apply a penetrating lubricant if necessary and use a suitable wrench. Ensure the correct size wrench is being used.

Clamp shows signs of rust.

While electro-plated steel offers corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can still cause rust. Clean the affected area and consider applying a high-temperature exhaust sealant or replacing the clamp if rust is severe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Durable electro-plated steel construction for longevity.
Wide variety of sizes available to fit different exhaust systems.
Provides a secure and reliable mounting solution.
Resistant to corrosion, extending its operational lifespan.

Cons

Sold individually, requiring multiple purchases for some applications.
May require specific tools for installation.
Not suitable for all types of exhaust jointing (e.g., slip joints might require different clamps).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Identify the exhaust components that need to be joined or secured.
Select the appropriate Autogem U-Bolt Clamp size that matches the outer diameter of the exhaust pipe(s) and the component it connects to.
Position the clamp over the joint, ensuring it sits evenly.
Tighten the nuts on the U-bolt evenly and firmly using appropriate wrenches. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage the exhaust pipe.

Compatibility:

This clamp is generally compatible with standard automotive exhaust systems, including pipes, mufflers, and catalytic converters. It is crucial to verify the required clamp diameter against the available sizes.

Care:

To maintain longevity, inspect the clamp periodically for signs of excessive rust or damage. Clean any dirt or debris with a damp cloth. Ensure the nuts remain tight to prevent loosening over time due to vibrations.
