Hi Transonic,
I'm sorry but I wasn't very clear about the clamp process.

I wanted to use the SAME clamp that came with the OEM exhaust on the Stage II. I had to CUT IT OFF with a Dremmel cutoff wheel because the original clamp was spot welded to the stock exhaust.

However, the original clamp was too big for the Stage II exhaust pipe, so I ended up buying a 2.5" T-Clamp instead.

Yes, you have the right PB Blaster product. I think PB Blaster works better than WD-40, but that's just my opinion.

No, there is nothing to glue. The T-clamp holds everything together just fine.

Regards,
Wayne
