   do halfords or any other retail shop do exhaust clamps, its for the centre pipe to the backbox, mines currently doesnt have one, but its that rusty it wont budge so its fine, but ordered a new middle section ans will need one for then, or will i?

   Yeah I need a new clamp aswell, mine's too loose. Never seen any in the halfords near my citrus farm. Have you got a local parts shop near you? Round here they usually can order for next day delivery.

   Depends on the design of your exhaust.
   
   There are two types of clamp, a horseshoe one (which my local halfords sell) and another one (looks like two humbackbridges) and they don't sell that.
   
   Go to a car spares place or order online, they are only a few quid.
   
   If your backbox slides inside your centre (or vice versa) then you need a horseshoe one but if both parts just meet each other then you need the other style.

   not if its the one im thinking about mate it has to be like to bridges like the link i posted above so it can grip the end of the cat joint and the end of the middle section joint together. that's in my experience but any one else with more info can correct me?

    iirc you need a 50mm olive clamp to join the backbox to the center pipe.
