The fit was almost exact, but it was not enough to stop an exhaust leak from happening, no matter how tight I made the clamp or how I positioned it, which is why I took it off and applied the silicon copper paste... seemed to have mostly fixed the leak but I couldnt' even get the clamp on tighter then finger tight before it just snapped like a twig.yoyo said:
That is the problem! There weren't any issues to begin with with my arrow exhaust... The clamp was probably OK to begin with... But as I mentioned earlier, I kept seeing a leak happening so I kept tightening .. and tightening that clamp thinking it would get tight enough so air wouldn't escape. Then I broke the clamp. Then I got a brand new, higher strength clamp, and the copper silicon paste, put everything back together.. still a leak! So I figure it can't be the clamp or the pipe at this point, something else is going on... so I used my phone and started randomly snapping pictures underneath and hoping to see something I couldn't with my eyes at that angle.. sure enough there it is, a fracture in the welding around the seam of the pipe. So the story is, my first install was perfectly fine. The collector pipe was broken!! So now I'm left wondering what I can do to fix this. Ugh.Ironhand said:
