Umm... I did that for like 6 months, then I got rid of the clamps and welded it together for another 6 months. Like 30,000 miles total. Works fine.
Might blow out your muffler bearings in the long run tho.

yep, my self and direp972 did this too...
works like a charm, Ihave replaced mine twice, first on in a 3 months after the turbo...
too much torque split the flex pipe open..

If you dont have access to a welder any muffler shop can get you it done for probably like 10-15 bucks. The exhaust repair kit I bought came w/ 1 clamp so I just had to buy 1 more.
