Default How I sealed my Dynatechs

<img src="http://www.turbo-ws6.com/headerseal.jpg" alt="" />

Slip-on pipe over header collector and a 3-inch band clamp to seal thing up. No leaks here!

What is the price of Dynatechs??

All one would have to do is remove the AIR and O2 provisions to run these?

Is there a ypipe availible?

I thought the problem was with the collectors leaking at the primarys, since they are slip on collectors.
Anyways, it looks great. The band clamps should do the job. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

yes, the problem i have always seen was people keeping the slip on collectors slip on at the primary...not at the connection to the Y or mid pipe. good job though....now, does the other side of the collector leak? or did you get yours from Madman like i suggested a LONG time ago?

I have never had problems with the collectors leaking at the primaries. I had to beat them just to get them on! Got mine from Jay at Billingsley Racing <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> (good folks to do business with)

I had mine leak at the primaries. I also had to bang mine on but with alot of miles on them they started moving around. When I had to pull them off they slid off with no problems.

Mine are pretty new but we put RTV sealant in the collectors before putting them on. We also have a slip on 3 inch pipe over the collecter with the band clamp..works really well and don't hear a peep out of them so far on leaks. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Just a reminder: if you use RTV to seal the collectors, make sure you use the kind that is "sensor safe" so you don't foul your O2s.
