New Belangers question

[TacDoc]

Thanks Neil, great help.

The outboard sections have no support stems on them like the stock flex tubes did. Do they just hang loose? Is that too much leveraged force on the heads? I will say that for all the griping I did trying to squeeze into grossly contorted positions during the install I was rewarded with precise fits of each component. Way to go Belanger.

One more question. I have Random Substrate Cats going on also. The end that slips over the outboard header pipes have no slots as one would see on a pipe requiring a band clamp. Does this connection not need a clamp or should I slot the cat ends and use a clamp?

To make up the difference between the RT cats and the header pipe, I had a engineered collar/sleeve made. It was then welded into place. Didn't slot the cat ends or use clamp bands.

The outboard sections did just hang there, check after a couple of days of use check that there is no slack in the header bolts and re-tighten
