Nickson Industries17177 Exhaust Split Flange

I purchased two of these to solve an issue related to rust on my Volvo 240. The original split flange succumbed to rust after 27 years, leaving my car sounding like a four-door dirtbike. With my unwillingness to remove any additional exhaust components these flanges worked perfectly to secure the downpipe back to the catalytic convertor. Time will tell how well these hold up to rust, but I was able to close the leak without bending the brackets by over-tightening. I'd recommend these to other people facing a similar problem, make sure you buy the correct size for your exhaust, and you should be able to get back on the road without waking up the neighbors in under ten minutes.

A little hard to open like rusted shut but they did fix the flange problem! No expensive muffler repair needed!

Worked perfect ! I had to use longer bolts because the other half rotted flange is welded to exhaust.

These work great! But they are only $5 at the local auto parts store.

good for the price

Worked as adverstised, although be careful not to overtorque, will bend a little. bottom line it's working well, saved me from having to have the stainless pipes welded, or worse, pay the money to have them replaced. 4 Stars because it bent, should be made from harder steel.

This clamp is fast and easy to use. I will buy it again when needed

Product does not work for my application.
