    Hey, what does your truck look like? I bet he is telling all his buddies how he beat a 10 second turbo truck

    go figure...its the only part of the whole turbo kit that doesn't have bead rolls or the good clamps. I'm ordering some from turbohoses.com on monday.

    duckysbht, thanks for the compliment man...long way to go on my truck but it will get there.

    Get the ends of the pipe bead rolled or have a bead of weld put on the ends. Also, when you assemble the pipe you can put some silicone adhesive on there to help keep them assembled.

    Don't kick yourself too much over it speed. Just think, next time you run into him and he's got his buddies with him, he'll try it again. They'll call B.S. on him when you hand him his ass.
