Just got done with a LML manifold, LB7 up pipe, and a PPE Downpipe. My issue is with the Downpipe. After putting everything together I notice a ticking exhaust leak sound. No loss of power or boost.
Made a tool to pressurize my exhaust system with air, and found the joint between the turbo and Downpipe leaking. My factory clamp looked a little flattened out, so I even got a new one from GM. Same thing. On the factory clamps, the actual V band is split into two. The split in the bottom is where it's leaking from. The PPE Downpipe fits into the turbo flange nicely, and there isn't a gap between the two when it's pressed together.
Has anyone else had issues with the PPE Downpipe leaking, if so what did you do about it? Again it's not really causing any issues except for a super annoying hissing noise.
