exhaust Im talking about! :norty:

 

Im not sure if there is any stopping this but my stainless system seems to grow by about an inch in length when up to normal running temps.

I have tried to strap it up to stop it swinging on the hangers but it just snaps the straps :brickwall: anyone know how i can secure it properly or stop it expanding?

 

thanks.

I'm pretty sure there's nothing you can do unless u get some kinda system made of some exotic non expandy materials lol, my last 3 exhausts have done it.

I wouldnt try and stop it moving, it might break something if it cant expand.

acorns don't grow into oak trees at hot temperatures buddy! haha

 

yea i wouldn't try and stop it, if your pressuring it one end, it'll be pushing and weakening somewhere else

haha, maybe an obscene title was not the best way to go about this.

 

i just wondered if anyone else has this problem really, i guess i wont attempt to strap it down any more and just let it extend (giggady)

 

still need to sort out the hangers and pipe anyways as it swings a bit to freely :lol: i cant stop it now.
