An exhaust clamp holds pipe sections or exhaust components together at a joint. This helps keep the connection secure and the exhaust gases inside the system on their way to the tailpipe. Over time, heat, moisture and road salt can corrode a clamp or let it work loose. Signs a clamp may need replacing include an exhaust leak noise near a pipe joint, a rattling or sagging pipe, or soot and rust around a connection. If a worn or loose clamp is the cause, this part replaces it. Inspect the pipes and hangers as well, because they can cause similar symptoms.
