exhaust fitting ?

Post Fri Jun 20, 2014 12:39 am

quick one ive got a 3 pc scorpion system, one side is flanged with the btb manifold, other side just sort of sits in, only the manifold side is flanged exhaust side is bare,

i cant remember of the top of my head.

but how exactly does this work?

is there some sort of ring i need to weld on.. and then put a flange behind it..

ive taken a link from realoem

pn 8 is what im talking about,

if so how does this mount just push on?

8 is a compressible olive that fits between two flanges. Similar to brass compression fittings used on copper water pipes.

ive pulled the old system off today unfortunately the old fitting crumbled into dust! ive got a bit of it left about 45mm wide,

is that piece fairly universal to find? autofactors.

and does it just push on... no putty anything?

thanks
