Couplers - Connectors

Exhaust connectors and clamps come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and materials for use across your exhaust system. Using the right connector ensures complete sealing, durability, and simpler servicing. A coupler connects two straight pipes easily and reliably, creating a leak-free path for exhaust gases on their way out of your truck.

What Is an Exhaust Coupler or Connector?

Couplers and connectors are types of fittings that join together two pipes. Depending on the type, they can connect straight pipes or change flow direction. They allow you to connect exhaust pipes using clamps instead of welding for easy removal during future maintenance and repairs.

What Types of Connectors Are Used in Exhaust Systems?

Several different connectors are used to bring together various parts in single or dual truck exhaust systems. Common examples include:

• Couplers: Join together two same-sized, straight pipes
• Elbows: Change a pipe's direction at a 45- or 90-degree angle
• Reducers: Connect two pipes of different sizes together
• Tees: Bring together three pipes in a T shape to split the flow or combine lines
• Crosses: Link four pipes together at one central point

Exhaust connectors also differ in size, material, configuration, and flexibility depending on where they're being used. For example, near headers or turbochargers, connectors need more flexibility to absorb engine vibration and reduce stress. In other areas, couplers function as a solid, steady splice between straight sections of piping. Since Outside Diameter (OD or male) ends fit into Inside Diameter (ID or female) ends, you'll also need the correct configuration of ID to OD, ID to ID, or OD to OD in your connectors to ensure a proper seal.

How Do You Join Two Exhaust Pipes Together?

There are two options for joining exhaust pipes: welding for a permanent connection or clamping for a removable connection. Welding requires proper alignment and tacking to create a lasting, leak-free bond. On the other hand, the right mix of couplers or sleeves with U-bolt, band, or V-band clamps offers a dependable weld-free fix. Clamps make your exhaust easier to tune up later on, since you can disconnect parts easily and without damage while inspecting pipes, diagnosing maintenance concerns, and solving issues.
