Hey there,
After installing my new MBRP exhaust system I pulled out of the garage and noticed a couple of little puddles. Turns out the drips were coming from the band clamps that attach the muffler to the tubing. The clamps were torqued to spec and everything with the install went flawlessly. After doing some research I found these awesome band clamps from Summit Racing (also torqued to spec) and they still leak water!!
I'm worried that if they leak water then they #1 are going to rust prematurely (I can already spot some under the first set of band clamps that I replaced), & #2 are going to leak exhaust...which is prob no bueno as well.
I know when i drive long enough the heat will cause the pipes to expand and hopefully stop any possible exhaust leak, plus burn up the water...but is this concerning at all?! Does this call for a trip to the exhaust shop to weld it air tight? Lind of liked the idea of being able to easily swap out the muffler if needed...
Thanks in advance for your input!!
