Dorman - OE Solutions Exhaust Clamp P/N:904-178
Help keep the exhaust down pipe connection tight with the Dorman exhaust clamp, part number 904-177, a Dorman - OE Solutions V-band clamp designed to hold exhaust system components securely together. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2008-2010 Ford F-250 Super Duty, the 2008-2010 Ford F-350 Super Duty and the 2008-2010 Ford F-450 Super Duty, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
Dorman built this down pipe V-band clamp to do the same job as the original equipment clamp, helping keep the joint between exhaust components firmly connected.
Over time a clamp can corrode, loosen or break, which can let exhaust escape at the down pipe joint. Possible signs include a ticking or puffing exhaust sound, an exhaust smell, soot at the connection, or a visibly damaged clamp. If a worn clamp is the cause, this Dorman V-band clamp replaces it. Diagnose the leak first, because gaskets, flanges or pipes can cause similar symptoms.
