so on out 05 durango by the passenger floor board the exhaust pipe pushes into another pipe with a clamp...everytime u hit a big bump or floor it and turn the pipe pops out of the other one.

the clamp is all rusty. do i cut it off and replace it or what?

What kind of clamp is it? One of those crimp type u-clamps?

If the pipes are still in good shape, I would just bring it to a shop and have it welded. You could also try a lap-joint band clamp if the first few inches of the big pipe aren't crimped too bad.

its like a strap more then a clamp. it has a lip on each end with a nut and bot but its all rusted to shit(truck has 150k miles)

I agree with vortmax, I'd take it to a good muffler shop and have it welded up. Shouldn't cost too much or take too much time. I have no idea what type of strap thingy is on your truck. I've only seen U clamps or welds used on exhausts. But either way, if the connection is failing, then its time to replace the clamp or have it welded. Good luck...

Weld it, problem solved.

weld = money...clamp=free.
