worst luck in the world

I didn't have very good luck with those clamps. The first set, the spot welds broke, the second set came loose and made my exhaust crooked. Me and Case ended up buying a welder and he welded everything back together. I guess it depends where it gets clamped though.

I think what 69 was suggesting was to use a big magnet on the outside of the exhaust and use that to move the socket up the pipe until you could grap it. Harbor frieght or even ace sells some that aren't expensive at all. I wasn't sure that point got across.

You might be able to use a round magnet and put electrical tape on the outside of it with a wire attached to it. Then you could slide it down the exhaust and it shouldnt stick to the pipe too bad, you might have to put a good amount of tape on it. Just be sure to leave the "tip" of the magnet exposed to grab the socket.

Yes, I was referring to dragging a magnet on the outside of the pipe. You're not going to be able to drop a magnet on a wire without it snagging on the pipe. Wrapped with enough tape, I'm sure you would be able to, but then it's pull won't be strong enough to hold the weight of the socket.
Do you have, or know someone who has either an electricians fish tape, or a plumbing drain snake? I have both you could borrow, but the commute could be a beech. Either one of those are flexible and yet rigid enough to where you could push a magnet down. Just be sure you have the magnet attached well so it won't fall off, or you'll have another thing to try and fish out.
