oakesy Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Hello Newbie Here. I am having trouble with the join on my v8 exhaust. The problem area is the Y connect to the Down pipes. I have had them resealed, pasted bandaged. I would like to know the little sod keeps dislodging. V8 110 3.5 1988SW. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houd Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 You could try two clamps on the joint, or have a welder tack it together! Unless you are bashing the exhaust on the ground offroad, the most likely reason for it to keep popping apart is a backfire, usually on overrun. Have you changed anything lately which may have left the engine running rich? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect this may have been dodgy when I bought it.. I notice from adverts a stainless steel version can be added. Would this be worth buying for this aged model. Or just replace like for like the better option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacr2man Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Sounds like an alignment prob , as they are usually a sod to get apart rather than keep together. what about your eng/ gearbox mountings condition. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
