My header is a slip fit 4 to 1 collector. It leaks, and is frusterating. If I weld up the slip fit joints, it won't leak any more. I have tried a few fixes to get the collector to stop leaking, and they lasted a few hundred miles before I was pop pop poping down the road whenever I lifted off the throttle.
So, I want to weld it all together.
the 4to1 looks like this:
numbers 1 - 3 will be an easy weld. But how the heck to I weld the inside quarter of #4. Whats the trick? (1, 2, 3, and 4 are all header pipes going into the collector if that was not clear in my little diagram).
The only way I can see it working would be to weld 1-3 and have 4 always being a slip fit. Or sectioning the pipe for #4 and weling the inner quarter from the inside, then welding the pipe back together (yuck!)
