RE: TSR Chrome headers from Takahashi
CB4ME,
I am also running a K&N filter, unfortunately, as I expected, there is leakage where the four pipes fit into the CAT/collector. I am sure this is the cause of the extra pops on decel.
Most exhaust systems with slip joints use pull springs or clamps, much to my dismay, this system has neither. TSR gives you a tube of sealer, which is just black silicone, to seal the joints. I wish I had known this before I ordered. I pulled it back off today and am seeking a solution.
Since I am out $680, anyone have any recommendations on a good sealant? I would love to have it welded, but I don't think there is enough room.
If another sealant doesn't work, I was also thinking of cutting slits in the 4 collector tubes and using clamps, but I am not sure if anyone makes any that are small enough to work.
Any help, ideas are greatly appreciated.
