Exhaust connectors?? I've just about got everything for my exhaust system on my '04 Silverado; long tube headers, QTP electric valve and stainless cutout, Magnaflow muffler will be here today, and I am still waiting on the y-pipe.
Now, I need suggestions on exhaust connections. I would like to make several removable joints in the system as follows:
headers to y-pipe
y-pipe to intermediate pipe
intermediate pipe to cutout
cutout to muffler (will probably be welded up--not sure yet)
muffler to tailpipe
So all in all, there will be 5 or 6 connections depending on wether I weld the cutout to the muffler or not. Any idea on what to use to make the connections without leaks? Pages to take a look at these suggestions? And personal experience with any of these? Thanks for all the help.........now if the y-pipe would show up!!! Thanks, Derek
