Default Re: FT exhaust separates too easily

Howdy,

I’m currently building a new Factory Team NTC3 Kit. I’ll be installing an O.S. 12TR R-spec engine. My racing buddy has had some problems with his FT exhaust coming apart at the coupling tube during relatively minor side impacts.

I’m wondering if this design from RD Logics (61255 turbo) would be any more secure, and if anyone has feedback about the performance of this pipe with the R-Spec engine.

TIA,

Get a long screw driver and insert at the ends of the pipes where they connect. Roll it around to flange the ends out. That should prevent them from sliding apart. I like the FT pipe imo.
