Yeah I got them as a temp fix. Completely forgot about it till I heard the weird farting noise of an exhaust leak again lol ordered some vibrant band clamps. Should be here Friday.

If there was a serious exhaust leak at one of the connections then I'd get it welded but this is a small leak from not having the correct clamps. If it was a leak at the bigger clamps where the catback meets the cat/mid pipes then I'd get that welded or have v-band clamps put on. That's where I thought the leak was originally.
