Hey everybody,

I just got my SLP LTs and catted X installed over the weekend. It sounds f'n great but i have anexhaust leak tat my buddy and i can't seem to fix. It seems like it is coming from the driver side where the header and the x connect. we kept trying to tighten the clamps but no luck. Did anyone else have this problem with their SLPs? All feed back and comments are welcomed.

Thanks,

Nick
 
best way to pinpoint the leak is have someone fire the car up while the other puts their hand NEAR (not on) where the header and X-pipe mate. Ive had no problems with my slp x leaking there, only where the down pipe meets the stock manifold. More than likely it is coming from where the header mates to the cylinder head (if you've tightened the clamp several times and still hear a leak.
 
I am thinking about welding as a final option but totally want to stay as far away from that road as possible. My buddy wants to try and use different clamps on the car. Also i don't know if this will help you guys at all but we only here this leak sound when the car is in gear. Could it be a lifter???????
 
I have the SLP LT's w/ the Short SLP o/r xpipe and I've had no issues either.. but I have heard of people having issues of the xpipe not making a good fitment because of the SLP logo, but I can't remember if they had the logo on the drivers side also or not :shrug:
