Thread Topic: IE exhaust header collector adapter Threaded

Subject: IE exhaust header collector adapter

Well - I made progress today on installing my new exhaust system. One question that I have is, how did everyone else install the IE exhaust header collector? When I did it the first time, I had bolt holes at 12 o'clock, 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock. That was a bear to install, a bear to remove, and It never looked right.

It makes more sense to me to have the bolt holes at 10, 2 and 6 o'clock, but then the bend in the adapter seems wrong.

What did everyone else do? Please let me know.

Thanks,

Ken

If it's a 3 bolt flange, your gonna want the bolts at 4, 7 and 12 so you wont scrape it on speed bumps.

That's how I had it before John. That bolt at 12 is a bear to install. Also - it doesn't look quite right.
