12914, 2 questions..
Posted by Remy, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
1. That pipe I got from pep boys. I cut it so its a perfect fit but its 2.5" when my j-pipe and ic pipe is 2.25". Now being its bigger i put it over both pipes and I am gonna put the silicone hose cover on top of it. Is that bad ? Will that hurt the air flow ?
2. My j-pipe is squeezing my lower radiator hose just a bit. Is that bad ?
TIA

Well, yes. It's kind of like the difference between "press-bent" and "mandrel bent". There will be a lip on the transition on the downstream pipe. You'll want the transition to be as smooth as possible. I would try some t-bolt clamps and crank down on them so that the edge of the smaller pipe is closer.
Why didn't you just get the 2.25" flex pipe instead of 2.5"?
<<2. My j-pipe is squeezing my lower radiator hose just a bit. Is that bad ?>>
as long as it's "just a bit", I wouldn't worry too much. Just check on it from time to time to check for wear.

Just pushing on the radiator hose won't hurt anything, but overtime it could wear a hole in it.
