Well could end up not being that, but at the moment it looks very possible, I hope it is for Illyuns sake, so that he can get the car back on the road running full stage 2+ powerrrrrr haha..

I am sure the new pipes had new o rings on them

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box

The O-Rings can also pinch and tear, causing it to blow past - so if it turns out they are on, they could just be goosed? just a thought.

I would have thought they would too, but in the pics earlier it doesnt look like it..

Just gone out and come back and on the way, I thought I should ask you whether the new pipes had O-Rings as I couldn't remember.  What I don't get is that the new pipes were difficult to get on and were tightly inserted - we tugged them slightly to ensure the fit was secure.  If the new pipes didn't have the o-rings, then would they have fitted tightly... I'm going to scour my install pics... I really hope the O-Rings weren't on the new pipes  :grin: :grin: :grin:

s3



I can't see the o-ring in this pic, am I missing something??  :ashamed:.. Thats what Illyun has on his car now, could it be that this pipe didn't have an o-ring fitted??

So then there IS a problem right?  Because I put them on like that.... I did wonder why the S3 - with more power - had flimsier pipe connections than the Ed30 at the time  :embarrassed: :laugh:

Does there  have to be an o-ring on both ends of the S3 pipe like the red Ed30 one has?
