I broke the welds holding the 4 pipes together. I cut slits in each pipe, swedged in the inserts that came with the pipes and used these clamps

thanks roscoe, when you cut slits in the pipes were they in the header pipes, or the side pipes? i did have some trouble putting the short adapter pieces on the header pipes. well thanks for the info Neil

I believe I cut slits in the sidepipes. I put the adapters in the header and, using a cheap little swedging tool, expanded the adapter while inside the header slightly. This caused them to stick tight inside the header.

pipes to header
Neil,
Quite some time ago I posted pics of how I fastened my sidepipes to the headers. The title of the post is sidepipes to headers. I'll try to post a link to the earlier post. If it doesn't come through do a search for the title of the post. sidepipes to headers |
