Hey Guys,
My Art pipe has been hissing for the past 6 months now since I installed it.
I installed the Berks collector gasket a few weeks ago and it still leaks on the passenger side about 1/4", I can feel it by placing by hand around the collector at idle (cold start). The nuts and bolts are properly tq.
I contacted Motordyne and they were kind enough to send me their version of the gasket, but that didn't solve the problem. It still leaks about 1/4" at the same spot.
My question is, can I double two gasket together? I still have two extra Berks graphite gasket and 1 Motordyne.
I was debating if I could apply an ATV high-temp Silicon gasket to the Motordyne gasket. But, I decided not too. I figured it would apply compression between the flange and the silicon would wear off eventually, thus leaving a gap between the flange.
Any advice would help. I've lost count on how many times I've removed and crawled under the car. I'll get some video/sound footage and might attach my GoPro below the pipe.
