My installer used some type of looped ratchet type tool (good description huh?) to pull the two pieces together and the leak went away.

I also read somewhere that one of the clamps is smaller than the others and that is the one to put on the H pipe. I didn't notice that during my install however.

 

I used an old U-Haul ratchet belt. Once the exhaust system was in place, I used the belt to pull the two sides together. Worked perfectly!

Yes the clamp for the H-pipe IS smaller than the others.

Victor, I can just picture you and your ole man kicking the $hit out of your exhaust – funny, funny.

There is always a hard way and an easy way to do things, no?

 

heheheh, the neighbors were like --->>

 

I think I'll just have my exhaust installed and the h-pipe welded at a body shop, it will be a lot easier since I don't have a lift...

 

that's good, welding it would be the best to get it sealed.

 

yeah, it would definately rid me of problems in the future (yay, perfect double play in the marlins game)

 

I've noticed that leaks at the joints are a common issue with the Borlas.

Welding would be a second option, as I am contemplating selling mine for the STILLEN SS EXHAUST. I saw the Stillens and they seem to be better made, solid joint connections, heavier gauge steel, definitely better quality material used.

The Borla joint clamps were sub standard; when I noticed them it was too late.
