Default Exhaust pipe question

Im installing my tsp duals, and I can not get the y-pipe off the drivers side header. Im curious if lining up the pipes and securing them with the sleeve clamps that come with the tsp system will be a problem.

not quite sure what your qusetion is, try twisting on the y-pipe to get it moving around and pull it off. what i did when i put my TSP duals on was put anti-seize on all the joints, that way they come off easily.

Are there cuts in the to let the female part expand. It there is take a small hammer and beat around the inside to flare it out more. If this isn't cuts in the end.....make some.

Are you asking if the thin Torca clamp will work as a good butt-joint connection? Definitely NO. Use an ID/ID connector & a pair of AccuSeal clamps. Tell me what pipe diameter you are working with & I can give you part #'s.

Got the pipe off the header by cutting through the pipe itself and prying it off with some tools. Definately not something I wanna do again.
