We went to install the o/r flowtech X this afternoon and once we got the stock off and the O2 sensors out (somebody please find and beat the idiots at ford who refuse to put anti-sieze on the sensors :bash we welded in new bungs on the X and fitted it up. The back fits fine, but we had some problems with aligning the driver side header pipe. The friggin driver's side connection will not fit flush. It is open about 3/8" and obviously leaks bad.
Tomorrow we're going to go at it again but I'd like a bit of advice about how to attack this thing. Can you get brass spacer rings that can be put over the end of the header to seal up the gap or are we going to have to go back and cut behind the X and weld it back up so it fits? Any help is appreciated.
PS - Driving with a major head leak makes your car sound like a friggin dump truck. :cuss:
