    I just installed a second hand d&d exhaust on my 09 fire bolt. I reused the torca clamp and two rear mounting straps. The torca seems to fit ok I guess the rear straps are too loose for my taste what should I use to tighten them up or should I replace them. The clamp that came with my pipe seemed a bit flimsy compare to stock. Just wondering if someone out there has one and could advise.

    I don't have a D&D, but when mounting any aftermarket or new oem muffler, it's recommended to replace all clamps, or at least the front clamp. If the front clamp fails, the headers can actually be cracked due to bouncing and vibrations coming from the muffler.

    I reused the torca. The front band is no longer necessary. Now I just need to find some rear bands that are slightly shorter than stock as i cant get the rear tight enough.

    What size is the rear clamp that comes with the pipe from D&D?
