Hello, I am curious how to get the best seal on the xhaust flanges with JollyMotos and JL exhaust Do others use the gasket rings(dont know the right name) as well as gasket on flange surface? The JL pipes slide into the manifold, and seem to only need one gasket, but the JollyMotos seem to be reliant on spring tension to seal to the ring, and I do not feel certain that is enough: How are the gaskets supposed to work on non stock chambers?  |

Holy crap. JB Weld maybe? Alex Never Tried JB Weld, but cant imagine it will hold together. Probably difficult to weld as well. I see JollyMoto has new flanges(looks like steel) for 25 Euros each, but for 2 with shipping and customs they are close to 100 pounds delivered to the Noruega.. Might check around if someone local can weld me some steel flanges instead |

Think the copper ring might been sat a bit wrong, and me being to hasty with the impact wrench... |

I usually thread lock and just nip them up

And with that type of flange I usually use the oval gasket too

Smear of standard builders silicone on both sides of the gasket should seal ( this is what Allspeeds say in the fitting instructions for their pipes)

One of our engineers tried to ban mechi fitters from using buzz guns, due to ONE ham fisted apprentice, the ban didnt last long ! :-) They have their place, but its no where near Elsie. Steven. |

I believe it has more to do with the man operating the tool than the tool itself, and in this case the operator failed recognizing the bent studs resisting, wrongly seated gaskets, etc. The impact driver itself is without blame, as it has adjustable torque. I'm usually not heavy-handed with tools, and have even operated a hard bristle toothbrush (sans dynamic feedback-control) without damaging my tooth enamel for years |
