I have hooker long tubes and I have a done a search and came up short. I was wondering...On the drivers side where the pipe slides into the other how do I get that to stop leaking? I DONT want to weld it..I have heard of people using exhaust band clamps...the wide ones....I also heard that u use a size bigger??? Is this true?? If so where do I get them and what size clamp do I use???

thanks
matt

 

Use some RTV sealant and wait 24 hours for it to cure...

 

RTV sealent doesNT work it blows out...tried it.....anything else???

thanks
matt

 

i would like to know also....RTV DOES NOT WORK

 

Try using Ultra Copper RTV.

 

RTV DOES NOT WORK FOR US.

 

Try letting it cure longer!

 

ok i give up..what part of RTV DOES NOT WORK DONT YOU UNDERSTAD?

What size clamp are people usin gthe 2 inch or the 1 3/4?
Thanks
Marcin

 

I used ultra copper on mine, put some on the tube itself and then some inside to and it formed a nice lip and it sealed for at least 72 hours before I turned the new engine over and so far so good....nearing 500 (break in) miles

 

aside from RTV..what have you tried??

i see no reason one of those sheetmetal clamps wouldnt take care of your problem.

 

what part of I DONT THINK YOU ARE DOING IT RIGHT do you not understand?

 

RTV wont last it will burn the exhuast is too hot.
i would get a band clamp on it

 

dude get a clue..YOU DO NOT EVEN HAVE HOOKER LTs ON YOUR CAR.

yup..exactlly..where did u get your clamp at and what size..i tired usin the regural hose clamp but they arent strong enough. I was wondering if anyone is using the 2 inch exhaust clamp from summit?

 

Just like He said....I have tried to let it sit for 24...48 HOURS...still blows out...and If u dont even have LT on the car DONT tell us what works and what doesnt. Becuase YOU DONT KNOW Rodrigues...So stop wasting time and go post on something else

I don't have my LTs on yet, so I hope I don't have this problem. But, if I do, I'll take the female end to my work and very slowly use an exhaust expander and bump it open. Any exhaust shop should have one.
