Ah I didn't realize that, in that case, yes I'd do the mentioned band clamp idea. I like my friends slip fit on his LS1 so much more than this flange business. Good luck killing the leaks.

HAHAHAHA im sorry i try not to make my **** look bad, now i can guess how ur car looks If u aren't beating the **** outta the flange it wont look to bad. But if u beat the **** outta it, it will probally chip the coating. He said he didn't have a ypipe from hooker , MEANING that he has flange and not a slip fit. LOL I dont need a clue, y dont u read the post ********

Listen 1QwackLT1, I can understand that you believe you know what you're talking about... But... I'm absolutely sure you don't have a clue. How "quick" is your car? Or is it a top secret project car that no one knows about that runs 10's NA? LOL. Anyway, when ever you want to throw down your pedigree of accomplishments in the motorsports world, I'll be glad to do the same. Until then you can go yourself.... When I'm fully sure you know how to do. Have a nice day.
