MBH X Pipe Leak, HELP!!

I Installed an MBH X pipe a month ago and now air is passing through the clamps that are holding it together. My local exhaust shop told me that he could either weld it or I could order a new clamp in order to fix the problem. The problem is I don't know the size of the clamp that I need to order so if anyone knows the size please pm or reply to this thread.

HELP PLEASE!!

Good thing is I do know the clamp size. I'll send you a new clamp. Shoot me a PM with your info so I can have it handy. Welding it wouldn't hurt either though.

Mikes offer of a new clamp reflects his customary great service, but speaking from experience I would just weld it so you never have to bother with it again. I had the same issue and after numerous attempts with clamps it was clear that the only way to fully eliminate the leakage was to have it welded.

Good luck!

I also had the same problem with my MBH headers. Welding is the key
