This is for anyone whose ever installed a 4-2-1 on their Max. I put the pipe on this past w/e and it looks great. The only problem I had was when I was clamping the silencer onto the collector it never would get tight. After I cranked it down with the socket wrench and an open end wrench for leverage it still wouldn't get tight. I could still wiggle the silencer around on the collector. Well to make a long story short - I broke the 2.5 clamps nut off the stud trying to get it tight. There is a set screw that goes thru the silencer into the collector that keeps it from coming off, but its still loose. Did I do something wrong here? I was thinking about having the clamp (which is over the silencer) welded to the collector, but i'm worried about appearances. Any suggestions? Thanks to Vern for the Sunday a.m. tech help on the exhaust gasket q's.
