My H-Pipe is PI$$ING me off AGAIN!!!!

Mercury · 05-25-2001, 01:21 AM

Okay, thats it, I wouldnt recommend Flo-Tech to no one. I had problems getting it to seal up, worked on it two Sundays ago for and two hours. Got it to seal, no exhaust leaks.

Well now, the damn thing is leaking again, around the same SPOT.

Looks like I have to jack the car back up AGAIN, and Tinker around with it some more. I'm thinking about just using some of that Exhaust Sealant stuff and be done with the crap.

Does anyone else here have a Flo-Tech off road H-pipe? If so, are you having as much trouble as I am?

The car runs strong, but the damn exhaust leak noise is driving me insane.

My friend keeps saying its just typical H-pipe noise, but it getting louder, and coming from the driver side collector on the manifold.

Thats why i went with bassani cause i learned the hard way in the past thats its best to spend a little more a quality system.

Not only fit and finish, but it won't rust up within 3 months on the car.

That's not always the case. I had similar problems like Mercury. My Bassani had to be cut to fit properly. I thought THIS was the biggest piece of junk. Will be going to something else sooner or later.

Mercury, since you had it sealed up once then chances are it's just loose now. Just tighten it up and you should be fine.
