I mean the band AND the fastener in 304 stainless. The ones I find only have plated steel fasteners. Looking for 3 inch like this.
Does anyone make 100% stainless steel band clamps?

That's for hoses, I need it for exhaust systems.

good stuff for sure so i bookmarked it!! used similar band clamps without issue except for the bolt that a little anti seize cures!! i love 304 stainless exhausts that are literally LIFETIME + it keeps more heat IN the pipe!! most stainless fasteners are NOT very strong with exceptions of course $$$$

Are you looking for a butt or lap joint clamp? Is the width of the clamp critical?
Lap joint. Maybe 1 inch wide like in the photo.
The only ones I'm familiar with are 3" wide with unknown fastener materials. This is a Walker Mega Clamp (3"x3").
The hardware is probably not SS; it's magnetic. But this isn't a good indicator as 304 can become magnetic after being cold worked. The only alternative for the fasteners is to replace them with known SS. However, replacing the threaded bar and its facing part for SS is another issue.

Ok, I'll just use what I have. Hard to imagine they wouldn't make both the band and the hardware from SS.
The ones I posted are Torca Accuseal and are some of the best on the market. The bolt and nut are 10.9, stainless bolts are not strong enough. The only plated parts are the blocks behind them and I have not seen those rust either. I keep some of the common Euro sizes on hand. No offence but dam you already hacked this thing by throwing the muffler out and you are worried about a friggin clamp?
If the bolts were stainless they would gall when you tightened them.
Scandvik ABA/AWABNorma 316 SS clamps are the best I have used. Suitable for marine applications. I have not seen them corrode.

Good for turbo plumbing but I have not seen them in exhaust clamps, have you a link to them.
I was just thinking of stainless band clamps in general.
Not throwing the muffler out. The whole idea is to be able to swap the muffler in and out in minutes, hence the stainless steel pipes and clamps.
I thought I was the only one that has had "hardware store" grade SS fasteners (8-18 and 316) either strip or have the heads torn off when tightening. Never tried A286.
I do have A2-70 SHCS on the TPI manifold in the Camaro but they're not holding a bridge together.
