My mechanic did a really nice job and the exhaust is tight. He used an ercoupe clamp from Univair on one side and the piper clamp mentioned in this list on the other. The piper clamp has a pin in it so you have to drill a hole through the muffler flange and the header pipe. This keeps the assembly from rotating. The other side uses the normal Ercoupe clamp w/o a pin so it is free to move a bit when the metal expands. This is the first time my exhaust has been tight. I am sorry but I do not have the number of the piper clamp here (it is in the hangar with my records.) It was mentioned on either this list or the Ercoupe Tech list about six months ago. I also have the SK kit that puts a flexible strap between the end of the exhaust and the engine mount but without the pin the assembly invariably rotates.
