I bought an 82 that was missing the exhaust so I got 07-0757 MikesXS chrome headpipes and 07-0114 18" mufflers. The mufflers came with the 3 piece reducer set to go from 1.75" to 1.5". Problem is that no matter how much I tightened the clamp at the muffler to header joint it still puffed exhaust. I then tried heavy duty harley style clamps recommended on this board and it still leaked.
Then I got a pair of 07-4631 one piece 1.75 to 1.5 reducers thinking that was the problem. Well I put them on and when tightened down there is still a 1/8" gap in the reducer where exhaust will obviously leak.
I know I'm probably missing something really simple. Throw some ideas at me guys before I just weld the damn muffler on the header. Thanks!
