Blowing collector
You may remember I was having a problem with my right exhaust fizzing on back-off and occasionally back-firing on switch off. The cause became obvious
today when I checked out the exhaust... Infact, I seem to recall it being suggested at the time......
I was checking out my exhaust system and noticed where the two headers go into the collector before the can there's a big dirty black stain
where obviously the exhausts been leaking....
From the outside the tubes are very tight together so I can't get a welder in between them... I can get access to the inside of the collector
where the tubes meet but its well dirty now...
Any ideas?
Polish / grind off the crud with a dremel then MIG any holes (haven't tried stainless at the moment, presumably need different wire and
different gases)....
Do the same but smear hi-temp epoxy over the join?? Avoids the cost of SS wire, gas etc and I might be able to "wick" the epoxy into any
gaps....
Any other ideas?
I'm happy leaving it for a moment but I want to use wideband feedback when I install the EFi and reckon the leak could cause major problems....

westfield use dow corning plumba flue +300c silicone sealant, it worked on mine which was doing exactly the same.....this stuff stays flexible and
wont rattle out once it hardens.
