Any thoughts on this fella's ?. Do I need to rebuild this pipe and make it a tade longer. It's on my 8v92

Will the clamp go on it and tighten?

Well Richard , The clamp will fit , However it won't pull it together. And Iam not sure if it has to seal tight or not . Iam told that you can not have any leaks in the exhuast or you lose boost ?

If it won't pull together, it needs to be longer. They do need to be tight.

Did you make the pipe yourself?

I'm sorry Andy, I didn't see the tear at the flange, take it to the welding shop.

Wrong flange on the tubing side Andy not deep enough every time I see your engine I am amazed that guy could take a top mount turbo turn it upside down and make it work like a front mount

good luck

I had a similar issue, the clamp would not pull it together. Another pipe fatigued and broke in two before I figured it out. I had to wrap Exhaust Tape on there to so the clamp could pull it together, Looks like that is what had been done to yours.

Something like this, I had to by a roll, If you were close by I would give you a piece of it.
