Product Details

This AP Exhaust 8640 clamp is specified for 2.25-inch exhaust tubing and is intended for direct-fit exhaust connection points listed in the fitment data. It is a practical choice for service work on a Ford Mustang exhaust system, including converter to resonator and converter to muffler locations, as well as other OE and aftermarket exhaust assemblies where a 2.25-inch clamp is required. The natural mild steel construction provides a straightforward hardware solution for exhaust repair and replacement work.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Uses

  • Replacing a worn or damaged exhaust clamp
  • Securing a 2.25-inch exhaust pipe joint
  • Restoring a leak-prone connection at the converter, resonator, or muffler
  • Supporting exhaust service on Ford Mustang, Ford Escape, and Volkswagen Passat applications
  • Addressing fitment needs on OE or aftermarket exhaust assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the pipe diameter before installation; this clamp is specified for 2.25-inch tubing. Match the clamp location to the listed position, such as converter to resonator, right converter to muffler, left, right, or N/A applications. For Volkswagen Passat listings, note that some applications require the clamp only with OE components and not with aftermarket components. For Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, and Mercury Mariner listings, use it with aftermarket muffler assemblies as noted in the fitment data.
