A big piece of the puzzle; I had no idea. Thanks, Allie!
Having recently had my exhaust system off, I'd like to note that the clamps shown in the fiche seem to be very different in function from the typical automotive muffler clamp. The pipes themselves do not actually get crimped by the clamp, rather they the tighten down on the fiber thingy which encircles the pipe. I think that fiber thingy butts up against the other pipe forming a seal, and the clamp keeps the thingy firmly in place. All pipes are held firmly in place by either the mounting rings at the head, or bolts to the frame - there is no give or play in the system, so these fiber thingamahoozits are able to keep a constant seal. So the practical summary is, the clamps do not hold the two pipes together. Errr, how did I do?
