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!

Re: How I sealed my Dynatechs 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" />

Re: How I sealed my Dynatechs 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?

Re: How I sealed my Dynatechs 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)

Re: How I sealed my Dynatechs 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.

Re: How I sealed my Dynatechs 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" />

Re: How I sealed my Dynatechs 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.
