    Those who have installed a Vortech/Paxton

    I remember when I was doing it, it was taking me forever! You have very short area to do the hammering, so I couldn't hit it that hard. I was really babying it too, finally made it over to the larger tap, and took a quick break. I went inside and one of my buddies took over. By the time I...

    Those who have installed a Vortech/Paxton

    When I did it I couldn't find it anywhere either and even had a hard time online. I finally did find it at Napa. I also started with a smaller tap to get it started, plus also because the larger tape had a the tip cut off, then finished tapping it with the bigger one.

    THR procharger stage 2 kit for 2000 gt

    I like hearing it all! I especially like to soak up all the field input I can get like a sponge, to design things better the next time! It's the best! Course nowadays I do commercial jet engines, but rpms and tolerances are just as fast and tight!.:cool:

    MRT Catted H-pipe / Magnaflow Install ?

    OK, I tried the cigar thing, but didn't work that well. By the time it reached the connection, it disappated or the regular engine turbulance sucked it in. This was in a garage too. Next I tried the soapy water. I quickly ran under the car to see any bubbles, but saw nothing significant...

    MRT Catted H-pipe / Magnaflow Install ?

    We'll see. I did hand tight most of the way while I was trying to get everything aligned, so it shouldn't have been cocked before I impacted it.

    MRT Catted H-pipe / Magnaflow Install ?

    One thing I read, and will try, is to spray soapy water at that connection and look for bubbles. I know it works on tires,,,. I will try that too.

    MRT Catted H-pipe / Magnaflow Install ?

    For the leak by the headers. I did try and feel for air and not sure if I feel it or the heat radiating from the manifolds. The sound I hear though, is a random "hiss" noise, not a constant sound.

    MRT Catted H-pipe / Magnaflow Install ?

    I will try "next size up wide-band" clamps things... RTV is what MRT is recommending to use for the driver side 'belmouth' joint, along with anti-seize for all bolts. When I went to autozone, this is the highest temp stuff I could find...

    MRT Catted H-pipe / Magnaflow Install ?

    I'm finishing up the install but still have LEAKS! One is on, I think, the driver side midpipe to header. I "impact wrenched" it a second time and it wasn't fully seated (or atleast it turned a few more times). I'm guessing the RTV cured with a gap the first time, so I will remove, re-RTV and...
