E-Top Exhaust Clamp Broke - Need Info / Help
So over the weekend, the clamp between E-Top (575 sci) and tailpipe (silent choice) broke (bolt broke). Was able to put a bandaid on it to get through the weekend, but I'm searching for a replacement. ..and based on the 3 hours that I searched for one on Friday morning, I might need to buy two to have a backup.
What is the difference between the Merc part... Part Number 54-848885 --CLAMP, Band Style (click here) $198.14 https://www.mercruiserparts.com/Show...h+Water+Outlet ..and a NAPA part... Part Number: TWD VEL022472 Exhaust Clamps, V Band Clamp For Manifold Pipes & Turbo Housing Flanges; Velvac $26.49 http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/Ca...472_0090059191 Clamp looks like this... http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b1...pspxz5n7q9.jpg Appreciate any advice. |
Nothing other than the crazy price of the Merc one.
|
Mercury Marine really means More Money.
|
Rope seal? I have an extra... Shoot me a PM.
|
Make sure you tap around the clamp with a hammer after you first install it and re tighten it.
|
the diff is zero. as in, tack a zero on the end of the automotive part to get the marine price. 20 bucks, 200 bucks...and merc couldn't even use there shiny black paint on this part!
|
NAPA has a lot of these but local stores didn't have exact. So I ordered from CP at about $40.
|
you can google V band clamps, many turbo/blower places carry them
