Any tips for getting a stubborn solid up pipe to seal? I have a Liberator pipe with the flex joint on the drivers side and solid on the passenger. I am having a hell of a time getting the passenger side to seal up all the way. Everywhere else is good.
I've taken it loose in just about every combination possible, including loosening up the turbo to pedistal trying to get it to seal up but it will still leak at the same spot every time. The leak shoots right at the back corner of the head. To me it looks like the pipe is simply not bent quite right. The pipe seems to be kicked back a little to much toward the downpipe. The fact that it was rubbing on the down pipe (untill I slightly dimpled the DP) tends to enforce this theory with me. The stock pipe never rubbed (or leaked) at all. If it weren't for the fact that the stocker has 100k on the flex joints, I'd cut the scoop out and put that one back on.:cursing:
Any tips from those who have managed to get a solid pipe to seal would be greatly appreciated.
On a happier note, the GoGo intake and Powermax seem to get along great. Despite the leak and no tuning changes, power is much improved. EGTs are a little up with the drive presure leak though.
