I just installed my Pro Chamber and was wondering what the metal sleeve that comes in the box is for? Please tell me I don't have to take it apart again .

if it's the piece i'm thinking of it goes on the flange so you don't have a leak. start it up & see if you have a leak, i'd bet you do if it's that piece

I checked it at idle and found no leak but when accelerating under load it sounds like there is a leak. Which flange is it supose to go on? Thanks for the quick response by the way.

I have an extra one if you want it

How does it sound? The leaking sound at low RPM is normal with the PC.

Cant wait to hear it

i never installed mine... And i dont have a leak.. from the driver side anyway.. LOL

I have a leak on my pass side. I've tightened it once a month for the past 6 months, and it just keeps backing out. Any suggestions? I'm tempted to rip it all out and get some LT's. But $ is tight now

Comes down to how the studs are on the manifold. Some times you can catch enough thread that it will seal without the sleeve, other times it won't.

I might be picking up a prochamber used myself, so I may be asking around for a spare sleeve

I didn't drive it very long after the install. Just from the dealer to home. It sounds pretty stock at idle. At higher rpm it starts to wake up but there is a strange sound that may be a leak. I'll have to check it again. I'll let you know.

I just put my catted MAC Pro-Chamber on a couple weeks ago. I didn't use the sleeve either. No leaks here. I thinks its an option and there in case you need it.

That sound is probably the gases rushing through the chamber. I hear it on acceleration too. It's louder than my Super Turbos until about 3k.

I think your right. Just installed the sleeve and checked for leaks. No leaks. Road test, noise still there. I`ll have to get use to it.
