    I used a 2.5" overlapping band clamp on the driver side pipe. There's a walker part number and you can order them through o'Really's. The part number is 33226.

    Dynomax Performance 33226 - Walker Lap-Joint Band Clamps - Overview - SummitRacing.com

    I'll find a picture of the other clamp if I can. The biggest thing is you have to find a clamp that is shorter than a band clamp (width), but will still fit in between the Y on the downpipe.

    Also, the 3-bolt flange gasket is the same as most SBC header collector gaskets. You can pick them up at any parts store in the performance section. Get some good stainless bolts and RTV, along with at least one band clamp and some other clamp for the other side, and you'll love life. Mine are so quiet...I can't believe I didn't fix them earlier.

    I might see if i can snap some pictures of them for ya

    I used the band clamp without the steel inserts!!!
    Actually bought some a installed them and noticed i still had a horrible leak at the Y pipe,so after a couple of month of hearing that i decided to go at it again,
    With RTV and the band clamps without the spacer/Insert/whatever u may call them,Be very friendly with the RTV...lol Slide the clamps about midway of where the header and Y pipe connect,and get to work very,tight non the less and u will have to keep going back and forth tightening both sides numerous times.
    FYI it can be done just gotta find the sweet spots =P....maybe ill take pics if i get out there for and idea
