Exhaust collar

Exhaust necklace for a car without a license: fixing and sealing of the line

The exhaust is an essential part of the car-free car, allowing to securely fix the different components of the exhaust line. It ensures the maintenance, alignment and tightness between the tubes, the silencers and other elements of the line. A necklace in good condition is essential to avoid gas leaks, vibrations and noise noises.

Main role of the exhaust collar

The function of a collar is to tighten and maintain two parts of the exhaust line so that they remain integral in time despite vibrations, motor movements and mechanical stresses.

FIXING AND MAINTENANCE

• Ensure the junction between two exhaust tubes.
• Maintain the rear or intermediate silencer in place.
• Stabilize the line to avoid misalignment.
• Limit the movement and risk of welds.

Gas waterproofing

By properly squeezing the sections, the collar prevents exhaust leaks, thus contributing to a better engine operation, noise reduction and optimum safety for the driver and passengers.

The different types of exhaust collars

Exhaust clamps are available in several forms and sizes to adapt to different tube sections and the needs of each installation.

U-collar (classic bolted necklace)

• The most common model, easy to install.
• Composed of a U-shaped caliper and platinum.
• Allows efficient clamping for standard diameters.
• Suitable for straight junctions and simple exhaust tubes.

Band necklace (wide collar)

• offers uniform tightening throughout the circumference.
• Recommended for thin or sensitive tubes.
• Reduces the risk of deformation of the tube during tightening.
• Ideal for lines where frequent disassembly is needed.

Quick Screw Clamp

• Facilitates quick assembly and disassembly.
• Used on some modular sections.
• offers a firm tightening without heavy tools.
• Suitable for temporary repairs or competitive vehicles.

When to replace an exhaust collar

The necklaces are subject to extreme conditions (heat, moisture, road salt) and end up oxidizing or loosening. Their regular replacement guarantees a silent, stable and leak-free line.

Symptoms of used or defective necklace

• Metal or rattled noise under the vehicle.
• Visible gas leaks at the junction of the tubes.
• Silent or tube that moves or vibrates overly.
• Rusty, cracked or winded collar preventing correct tightening.

Consequences of a faulty necklace

• Loss of sealing and increased noise.
• Risk of falling part of the exhaust line.
• Loss of engine performance and increased consumption.
• Risks of gas penetration in the passenger compartment.

Regular maintenance and control

Regularly inspect the necklaces is part of the preventive maintenance of the exhaust. A simple verification avoids more expensive repairs.

Control stages

• Visually check the condition of the necklaces with each revision.
• Check the tightening and tighten if necessary.
• Immediately replace collaries with perforating rust.
• Check the general line alignment from the line to prevent mechanical voltages.

Good mounting practices

• Use quality clamps adapted to the tube diameter.
• Change the necklaces when replacing silent or tube.
• Apply some anti lubricant-rocking on the threads to facilitate the future disassembly.
• Check after a few kilometers that the tightening is always correct.

Installing a new necklace

Install an exhaust collar is a simple operation, but which requires precision to ensure uniform tightening and a good seal.

Mounting precautions

• Cool the line before any intervention.
• Place the necklace well centered on the junction.
• Tighten progressively and uniformly.
• Avoid any angle or excessive constraint on the tubes.
• Check that there is no contact with the chassis or supports.

Test after assembly

• Start the engine and listen if the noise is normal.
• Visually check that no gas leak is present.
• Check the tightening again after a few trips.
• Observe the absence of vibration or abnormal movement of the silencer.
