alexmarq1986 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 So I was cleaning my fmf fatties and the silencers and I took them off and when I was tightening them back up the rubber clamp that connects the fatties To the stinger(silencer right?) is ripped thru the middle, were would I buy one of these rubber clamps or can I use an alternative hose? Also I think were the fatties connects to the engine it is loose and do exhaust fumes leak thru there? And what would I need to do to fix this?

nayr742003 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 you can get the hose from a dealer or order from jeff (fast). To fix your pipes check and see if all the springs are holding the pipe on tightly and i think there is a gaskett between the two check that also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKheathen Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 dealer sells them. one is like 12 and the other is like 22. get the rear exhaust coupler. i tried plumbing coupler, and it melted, cus i couldn't find it in rubber. it looks like heater hose (1" i.d.) but it's higer heat, and woven all the way through. the rubber just helps it flex and seal. i just broke down and ordered it red label with my intake, cus i tore that too the same time i melted that synthetic thing. had to wrap and clamp a chicken selects box to get back to my truck. wish i could have took a pick before it smoldered off. my friend said all he could smell is ranch. beat that for scented exhaust! :yelrotflmao: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001Stroker Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I went to the auto part store and bought 1" water heater hose and hose clamps. Cost me about $3. Worked just as good as the $50 billet ones. With the FMF's, the joint is further back, so the plastic hides them anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamebo Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Also I think were the fatties connects to the engine it is loose and do exhaust fumes leak thru there? And what would I need to do to fix this? Your pipe o-rings could possibly be worn/bad, also. Rockymountainatv sells an FMF kit for the Fatty's with springs and o-rings for $9.99.
