Exhaust clamps which is easier on driver rear? an correct clamp for pass. #8. Hummer H2



I installed driver #7 an pass. Rear#8 on my 05chevy express 3500 was very easy bc of dog house engine cover exposed whole area.took longer to take doghouse off.




Here’s what I used for driver rear #7.







Now I see a different version for driver rear#7



my van also needs #1 so I have this differnt clamp yet to install it.
plan to order 2 more clamps for H2.



I want to clamp both #7 & #8 on my 07 hummer H2. either I lay on fender or maybe go in from underneath? Either way gonna be a major pita.

So which clamp is easier? Or stronger bc #8 has both bolts broken (only one clamp so no choice). #7 is just the rear bolt right now.
I'm hopping the clamp will work even w/ both bolts broken on #8.she's a bit loud when cranking cold but after operating temp. noise doe's go away.

edit: apparently the Hummer use's a differnt clamp than the express use's






here's the clamp I used on vans #8


thanks for any tips wanna make sure I get correct clamps.

 

check the dorman video.

 

I didn't know the clamps where available for middle bolts.
I've already done my vans back cylinders. the lady should of mentioned to heat cycle mannys before final tightening.

anyway how do you Guys work on these H2s example clamps I don't see myself laying on the fender, couldn't reach sitting on cowl.
maybe though the wheel well.thanks the doormans are kindof pricie.
clamps for right now untill I get long tubes either OBX dynatechs or maybe some Jegs for trucks I'm thinking the trickie side is pass.

 

 

yeah I've sean a few of this mans videos. this one was good but lacked details like how to remove this heat shield on #8 after removing fender liner (which is probaly not that hard).
thanks
