I used $10 (USD) band clamps on my JT install 1.5 years ago. I forget the brand name of the ones I purchased, but I got them from a local NAPA store. If I remember, I needed 7 of them, though I bought a couple extra just in case.
I also used acoustic exhaust system sealant on every joint. It helps to keep the joints from rusting for when you need to remove them, as well as seals up any leaks that you might get. Another $8 for the tube.
Knock-on-wood, I haven't had a problem with the install yet!
BTW: before final installation, make sure the tail pipe doesn't stick out too far passed the bumper. To avoid this, you will have to shorten the length of the pipe that goes from the intermediate muffler and up over the rear axle. Mine sticks out, and it annoys me every day I look at it. I think this is also a lament of every person who has installed one of these systems (besides RedAero93 who did it correctly!!!!). Some day I will get around to re-doing it...
