christ6 Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 I got a set of fmf fattys and powercore II's installed about 2 months ago at the local shop. A lil while ago i noticed some oil sneaking out between the headers and the block, today i noticed the mounts that hold the pip to the frame (with the rubber dampers) have both broken. I took the pipes off and both the orings are broken. These pipes arent that old, i do alot of jumping and hard riding, is this normal? also does anyone know what size/part number or anywhere u can pick these up beside ordering them from fmf, like a hardware store or something?

Big Blue Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 It is normal for the stock hangers to break, for a cheap fix dirll a hole thru it and put a bolt in. As for the orings I dont know what size they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiftdT4R Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Yeah, not uncommon, my hangers broke a few times, when the hangers break, the rings will wear faster, then the pipe doesnt seat right, and the oil will run..... Get some aftermarket pipe hangers, try modquad.com They are pretty cheap there, as for the o-rings, I think they are high-temp ones, so any old one won't do, pony up the $$$ and buy the FMF ones, if you could afford $500+ for an exhaust, what's $10 for rings?
