What have you heard about the connection to the headers with these pipes?
After installing the JBA headers my passenger side flange on the y pipe is
vibrating against the frame on acceleration. With the new larger diamater
pipe that flange would then rest right on the frame. So I'm wondering if
these y pipes will be directly wielded to the header collector?
Any thoughts on this????
