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?

An update......the other one is broken too. This is the outside pipe on the driver's side, about 3 or 4" from the rear end of the jacket:
And this is the inside pipe on the passenger's side, about midway: (the semi-circular arc visible is a complete break around the pipe: it's essentially 2 halves). Wall thickness appears to be a shade under 2mm, I don't know whether this is normal. But from the outside they appear undamaged: So they are both destined for the bin: fortunately I don't have to use them myself, but............what would be the first warning of failure while in use? Unconsciousness? Seems a bit drastic. |
