How important is it for a tight fit, or not, of the SS heat exchangers at each end where they connect to the exhaust headers and the muffler?

Is the looseness where pipes pass thru the outer casings? If so, it's fairly tipical. The file work you need a light touch where the piping meets the head. Darken the ends with a sharpie and make a light pass contacting both pipes at the same time. A pretty good sized bastard file is needed.

Does that mean no problem? |
