heard the radio where you from in texas.

 

I had good success with the aluminum gaskets as well until I installed a Radix. I had plenty of leaking 3-bolt gaskets until I found the aluminum ones. They held up for fine for N/A and occasional spray. But shortly after installing the Radix (and running it hard), I developed another gasket leak. When I pulled it apart, I think I found the melting point of aluminum :

 

Dear lord, that is one messed up gasket... I am hoping these V-bands work out, I have only driven the truck to the store and back, it is running pig rich, due to the previous headers leaking and throwing off my Wideband...

 

Hey so how are those V-clamps working for ya? I have a leak started where it bolts up to my headers and I need a place to disconnect the back half of my exhaust. So when you going to make a few of those Y pipes to sell? I will be first in line. lol

 

the V-bands are working out really good. It makes droping the Y-pipe so much easier... I only drove with the new setup long enough to roughly tune the truck, then I took the headers off to get them recoated...

 

I need mine done.. I just need an x pipe and spintechs with a turn down. Let me know if you interested on teaching some exhaust fab.

 

Can you weld?

 

hey blackgmc, you ever run over to longview? i would like to see that truck in person...

 

hmmm, not really, I usually just stay on the west side of fort worth... If you ever on this side of town give me a PM and we could meet up or something... I might be planning a PT.net GTG at my house in a few weeks....

 

dang corey, your not messing around. that craftmanship looks great. the truck sounds good too.
