I hate U-clamps, so I'm building flanges to bolt the muffler on, like a '96 Bronco's. I'll use the one currently under my '83 to set this flange's position & rotation before welding. If I can't find another original '96 muffler for this truck, I'll build one from a Walker stainless muffler, a locally-bent stainless tailpipe, and I'll make a stainless flange.
This flange fits the pipe so well that I can position & rotate it by hand, but it stays where I put it.
