stormsedge Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Okay, I've had my aftermarket crossover for some time now, and am still dealing with some exhaust leaks. The leaks cause an occasional backfire at low speeds. After quite a bit of tinkering, it looks to me like my problem is that the crossover does not fit squarely on the downpipes because one is forward of the other due to the cylinder layout...both pipes are the same length. I am considering a hacksaw attack to shorten one pipe to allow the crossover to fit squarely. Has anyone had to make a cut of this nature to make things fit? k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Just a FWIW since noone else answers. My downpipes have different lengths so they reach the crossover pretty much symmetricly. It's a Sporti though. I would have expected the V11 to be similar in that aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Results the same...looks like I need to shorten a pipe. k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
