Leaking LT collectors
I have a set of Original (non Borla) LGM LTs I purchased about 2 years ago. They are leaking at the tube/ collector junction. Both sides are leaking - right and left at the same area.
Anyone else have this problem??
They're Jet-Hot coated....is it difficult to clean up the surface and weld them?? TIA.

I'd try contacting LGM to see if they can repair of replace them.

Is this a common problem??
I ordered a set of Kooks 1 7/8" and a 3" X-Pipe.
I'm going back to Cats and closed loop (hopefully?).
I guess I'll sell this Catless setup.

Out of curiousity, where?
I had a leak where the driver side header flange bolts to the x pipe flange a while back.
The system uses a 2 bolt flange arrangement here. One of the two self locking nuts on the drivers side flange didn't want to self lock. A lock washer solved that.
