So when I installed a pipes OR X and steeda down pipes we could really never get the band clamp at the front of the X to not leak. Put Copper RTV and that all but fixed it but about 2k miles later I had this annoying rattle. Today I put it on ramps and checked and it was the passenger side band clamp. It just wouldn't ever fit right and if you hit the X pipe you could clearly hear it. I got creative and took the band clamps off my stock mufflers that had been replaced and put those on which werent as big but seemed to seal and fit much better. I ended up doing that to both sides. Then when I started the car the weirdest thing happened. First of all it was WAAAY deeper sounding. I thought at first it was a big leak but its not, I checked. Also upon driving there is WAY more vibration and the sound is much much smoother. No more rattle either. None. What do you guys think that's all about. My guess is the little bit smaller band clamps allow for more vibration and its finally sealed. Very odd to say the least. Thoughts?
