schmuckingham Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Appears i dont have a full exhaust upon my oil change last night. Its a Vance and Hines "slip on" ( looks like the rear section to the full kit). THe factory header still has the EXUP valve in the exhaust but were they V&H and stock collector meet its leaking pretty good. The slip on is bigger than the collector so should i get a heavy duty exhaust clamp and try and crimp it down or should i take the stock stuff off and try and make the OD of the collector larger? it looks cast though.Pics later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 depends on how bid of a leak and such pics will make the decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman88210 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I would use an exaust expander on the smaller inner pipe. You may need heat!! and remember, fire is fun! May still need to clamp it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman88210 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 An auto parts store should have an expnader. Call around to advance auto or napa. If you can get it to fit just right, you will not need the clamp. Remember tho, tap a little out at a time. Dont want it too big... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Drordy Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I was thinking cut a slit in the slip on then clamp it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 If he wanted to use a car exhaust clamp... the U bracket one, that could work. If not, then cutting a vag in it and trying to clamp would still cause seepage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
