Default slp loudmouth, slight problem

anyone running this exhaust?

if so did you have any fitment problems or did it start leaking after a while by the cans "resonators" where the clamps are?

just bought the exhaust hooked it up exhaust seems to look crooked no matter what i do, and on the passenger side where the cans "resonators" sit it just started leaking, and the leak is not really bad but it leaks into my car where i stink like exhaust for the rest of the day.

I've run it for about 3 years now. Fit is great. (best fitting cat back I've ever ran)The clamps, you have to tighten down w/ an impact. They have to be TIGHT. Don't be afraid to torque them clamps down.

Bingo, and the pipes are slotted. So they come apart fairly easy!!

My tailpipes are held on by band clamp and Pro is right, they have to be tight as a bitch. Mine came loose a few times while i was driving and its very annoying, esp cause on mine the tailpipe starts melting the tire. The band clamp design is nice like pro said cause when you loosen them the pipes come right apart, where as if you have the clamp design that pinches the pipe its a ***** to get them apart.
