Lee TR4 Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Hi, I would like some advice on how best to attach the two pipes from a sports exhaust manifold to the Y piece. I am told that there is too little space between the two pipes for normal exhaust clamps to fit. Is there another type of clamp that would do the job properly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianc Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 You can do a test fitting with the kit off the car. I have such a manifold/pipe arrangement, and just offset the two clamps fore & aft by the thickness of the C-shaped rod (threaded at both ends). The C-shaped parts I have mounted like an inverted U, with the threads facing downwards. The closing pieces are then mounted horizontally, and the nuts are easily accessible from below. Although slightly vulnerable if one runs over something large, it makes life easier! I would suggest that if the Y-piece has its arms too close together, it isn't a very good design!
