Default E-Cutout Problem..

I got my cutout in the mail on friday. I opened the package and there were no clamps or anything to help with the install. I am not sure how to install it other than getting it welded on. Any of you know if I can just go buy the clamps for the install? I don't really want to have to call and get stuff sent back. I just want to get it installed ASAP!

Where did you get it from? The one I got from DMH had to be welded on. What you could do though is head down to an auto parts store and pick up a few 3"-6" 3.25" dia. pipes and cut them in a few different places about an inch or so down the sides of the pipes and pick up some exhaust clamps (hopefully they have some) and try to clamp them that way.

Im about 12 beers into the night now so if it doesn't make a lot of sense I'll post up again tomorrow afternoon.

You gotta buy that stuff. Were you expecting some Oompa-loompas to come in the box and put it on for you while singing a snappy little tune as well???

Come on that was funny. I even wrote lyrics for the song the Oompa-Loompas would sing. I think it might be a hit...

That's odd bc mine came with clamps you would need if you wanted to install it right away without welding it.
