Sure you could. Alot of exhausts are clipped/clamped together. Depending how permanent your wanting it to be you might want to go with stainless steel clamps.

2.75" ofcoarse. If your working with say 2.75" pipe, you'll need a 2.75" clamp. That goes for every size. 2.5" needs 2.5, 3" needs 3".

Ok. You will need a 2.5" to 2.75" adapter. So to make that mate up, you'll need a 2.5" clamp, and 2.75" clamp. All parts are available at your local napa or advanced auto.
