JohnnyWadd Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) i/c piping fail. whats wrong with this picture? ideas for fix? http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z388/starionkiller/aluminun%20v%20band%20weld%20ons/th_2012-09-11202105.jpg http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z388/starionkiller/aluminun%20v%20band%20weld%20ons/th_2012-09-11202050.jpg I wonder did i weld the v band clamp to the wrong side of the i/c pipe? this piping fit great with the couplers and clamps. now i can even get the i/c in there. this is where i need to be ....http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/3411/hpipes002ev9.th.jpghttp://img99.imageshack.us/img99/2804/hpipes001xf3.th.jpg Edit in: seems the fit of the v band things wont let me force it into place like with the silicon couplers. i remember the *DM hardpipes need a bit of a fight to get the clamps on. so the intercooler outlet pipe wont go where it needs to go...
