Jay762 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 With car on ramp through the crumbling heat wrap you could see exhaust deposits - pulled it off to do a bit of welding and found this - yup that would blow a little 😀 New blanket on shopping list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandals Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Slip joints should seal up when the exhaust is up to temperature. Was it blowing all the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 dont know - only found it when car was on the ramp, will reassemble with a bit of exhaust sealant and replace wrapping with a blanket then I can pretend its fine.... Looked at a one piece replacement and fell into the upgrade spiral..... Oh there is a bigger diameter option, Well I will need the manifold to match, Well it makes more financial sense to buy as a set, Whats a rotated / twisted turbo setup..... Conclusion - live with current setup for the moment and shopping list has been amended 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandals Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I had a slip jointed up pipe on my WRX, bought it from @savage bulldogs. Put some fresh heat wrap on it and it worked perfectly fine. Could hear it ever so slightly blowing on really cold days but stops after a minute or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Yeah slip joints do blow until they've become hot enough for the metal to expand and seal . They're good though ,as they allow movement during heat cycles, which in turn reduces stress on welds and flanges 😉 As for you jay...... Unequal length manifold (get her burbling like a scooby should) . Harvey trick up pipe matched to the size of your headers and turbo , too increase spool 😉 Speak to Alyn at Asperformance as he has the rights to "Harvey up pipes" and info on what size you'd need . If you need anymore help spending your money on scooby parts .... I'll gladly help you as my wife can't moan at me for spending YOUR money 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Manifold is unequal and it does give the burble - this will be retained 👍 Ill follow up with Alyn - cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
