If you are getting your exhaust or headers done by anyone, please ask them if they plan to just solid weld the entire exhaust as one solid 20 foot long turd directly to the headers. Bonus points if it is one solid piece that goes from the header, to the y pipe, over the axle, and out the back, so if you need to remove a crossmember you have to cut and reweld it in 4 places just to do a rear main seal! That is the best. *this is sarcasm*
Slip joints work fine, vbands are like $50 at speedway (don't use the nuts they come with they will ruin the clamp). They are 1000x easier to weld onto the header when the header is laying on the ground, than when it is wedged between your transmission and chassis.
This will save me from having to sawzall it apart when I have to do literally anything (transmission, crossmemeber, oil pan, header gaskets, etc).
Thanks,
