HELP FROM FELLOW QMP OWNERS!

[matt lankford]

hey guys, i popped a pipe out yesterday. my shop didnt use the red rtv i provided. i need to know what size socket i need to loosen and retighten the special clamps

 

[AUCobra]

7/16 Deep well socket

 

[matt lankford]

thanks a ton, thats the clamps right

 

[coleman]

isn't that a coincidence, my shop (i guess) didn't tighten down the manifold bolts cuz the nuts fell off and when i accelerated, it sounded like @#$

 

[matt lankford]

the one i popped out was the drivers side into the muffler, it sounded like someone popped a paper bag when i let go. im going to get mine welded in soon.

 

[AUCobra]

Yep, that's the size for the 14 pipe clamps. I don't remember the sizes for the for the manifold bolts. I know you have the QMP LT headers anyway. How do you like the headers so far? I am thinking of getting the QMP headers next.

 

[matt lankford]

they are sweet. thanks

Matt you had the QMP on before and just added the headers right and the sound changed? Are you cat'd or OR and how much louder is it then before the long tubes?

 

[warren]

hows the interior noise? can you still hear the raidio?

 

[matt lankford]

no, i was a 2nd gp guy, i orderd 3 days after the 1st one ended and the took forever because the problems some had. my car blew a manifold gasket a month ago so i quit driving it till i got it fixed. i tried doing a k member too and slowed me up a bit. i never drove the car with just the exaust. you need the radio on to drive aggressivley, imho

 

[warren]

when you added the headers, did the interior noise level get real loud? im debateing on shorties or longtubes

 

[matt lankford]

no cats either

 

[matt lankford]

it all went on at once, so im not sure whats headers and whats exaust, sounds meaner than a viper though
