Post by: topgun44 on 02 December 2011, 01:25:48 pm: hi all it me again :rolleyes well i going to fit it in week or so it look like it will fit without a link pipe to my genuine silencer is that true or do i need a link pipe?
plus do i need a new seal for silencer to the headers (i have got set of seals for the pots)
thanks ;)

Post by: Skippernick on 02 December 2011, 04:01:50 pm: I believe you don't need a link pipe as its incorporated in the silencer on the original can thats why you need a link pipe with after market cans.
If i'm wrong no doubt i'll be abused and you will be notified of the right answer. :)

Post by: Captain Haddock on 02 December 2011, 05:30:15 pm: No link pipe required for that, Skippernick is spot on.
Title: Re: just won this what is the best way to try to get it clean again
Post by: topgun44 on 02 December 2011, 06:24:53 pm: thank you all ;) but do i need seal joint them together or i just clamp it :rolleyes

Post by: Captain Haddock on 03 December 2011, 10:56:43 am: You need a seal as the pipes are a different diameter, the seal is quite thick.
