Default Exhaust clamp size?

Does anyone know what size exhaust clamp is used to connect the resonator assembly and the y-pipe?

I had one of my clamps on the y-pipe fall off some how that eventually gave me an exhaust leak and threw the CEL,VSC lights on. I ended up buying one of those heavy duty 2" exhaust clamps. She back to purring like a kitten now. It was $3 from AutoZone.

I ended up squeezing under the car with a caliper and measuring the pipe, it's 2-3/4". Went to Midas to have it replaced and they wanted $40 for the clamp and another hundred to replace it. F U MIDAS, I HOPE YOU ALL CHOKE. Unreal. Then took it to a Toyota dealer and they wanted $140 also. WTF? It's just a clamp! Bought the part from Lexus for $20 and just gonna have to just do it myself.

cost 10 bucks if you do it yourself.

its just a couple screws and bolts.

get some PB blaster and be generous with it as the bolts are not going to want to come off.

BTW, i believe the 2" size of the clamp that i bought was the minimum diameter it will adjust down to. Yes the pipe is 2-3/4".
