Exhaust fitting on cylinder

[papa-smurf]

I have T5's that give me trouble completely sealing around the cylinder port. All springs are accounted for. What could be the issue?

 

Also, what would be repercussions of the issue with performance?

 

Thanks

copper rtv looks like dog shit!! get yourself new orings!! i normally use fartory orings, they are a little big so you have to sand them down so the properly fit inside the pipes!

You need new o-rings. I've found that shorter springs work better then the stockers on my Pro-circuits. With stock spings the pipes vibrate like a POS.

The other thing is with at least my pipes not all o-rings are the same. Like if you buy a FMF spring and o-ring kit, the o-rings don't quite fit right on my PC pipes and they leak.

The draw back to leaking pipes at the flange is a big mess of oil, a bad sound sometimes, and your pipes are sucking air from the flange and not out of your motor.
