I found this.

It's not the best shot, but looks like the newer ORY.
Obviously a bit doctored for the cutouts.
The Y intersection looks much better, and I don't think it's crimped down between the 2 collectors.
I would really like to see if the O2 fittings are still so close to the end of the collectors.

This pic shows the O2 sensor in the collector.

Again, the Y-pipe is doctored, but the sensor appears to be in the same spot as the first pic, maybe?

i had the same issue with the O2 sensors/y-pipe and using the pre-formed band clamps. switched over to the accuseal clamp like the one pictured and it was definately worth it.

I am about to order the accuseals.
Will I be able to remove the Y pipe later if I need to?

+1 I would like to know this too. I was just gonna notch mine out and throw some Ultra Copper around there for safe measure. But thats how the FARMER does it.

Well,
I just ordered 4 of the accuseal 3" clamps.

$39.xx shipped from verociusmotorsports.

I won't do any exhaust work without some copper silicone (on jeans, shirt, hair...) on the joints first.

I'll slit the end of the pipes a little less than the width of the clamps, and hopefully I can get them apart if I ever get that TT2600.

That would be great. Thanks.

I had this pic sent to me from JetHot. It is a scanned pic from a catalog, but it's more than I've seen anywhere else.
