Please, for the love of God, don't weld them. Proper band clamp installation will keep them from coming loose. :D

maybe on the highway, but the lease roads down here work everything loose.
Just my experience.
Why do you say not to weld it? Is there something I missed?

I say don't weld simply for a maintenance prospective. Nothing sucks worse than needing to remove your down pipe and/or exhaust to replace a turbo or fix something else and having it all as one piece. I just like the fact that it can be taken apart with hand tools with no cutting or rewilding. That is all. :D

once you have the system where you want it, drill a 3/16" hole thru the band clamp and overlapping pipes and stick a pop rivet in it. Will stop it from rotating and is simple to drill out if you have to change something.

Never would have thought of that....but it borderlines on brilliant. :rockwoot:
 
I have a 4" downpipe going into a 5" Aeroturbine with a turn down just in front of the rear axle. Exhaust note is a nice round rumble and it almost thumps a bit like a big block at idle. It doesn't sound like anybody else's truck and that's my favorite part. It's very quiet in the cab, definitely way more engine noise than exhaust until it hits about 35psi (vnt turbo), then you can tell there's an exhaust system under your feet. It's a bit louder towing but never had a complaint from the wife or kids - they still easily fall asleep on long drives.
