   As far as i know, yes they are pretty much the same. Pop to your local Halfords or somewhere similar in the morning and just look for an exhaust clamp, take your old one along to compare.

   Fair play. Well it won't do any damage, but be careful about going over bumps etc as with no clamp the pipes may hit together or sag down etc and catch on things. Will also sound like you have a dustbin for an exhaust as it will be very loud with no backbox.

    Yeah it'd definitely be better not to lol, but the clamps aren't expensive to use the extra money for a taxi or a bus

    will be okay with the mounts, just be careful, get up earlier and pop into halfords, or just go college a little late and apologise !

    They don't sell them in any of my local halfords. I got one that was iirc £1.68 from eurocarparts.

    Most car parts places will do them, I picked a couple up for £5 from my local unipart automotive.
    
    Shame they are shit though, I have had to stick some sealant around mine to stop it blowing slightly......and yes it's fitted properly.
