slip on collector retension

201250 · 09-19-2011, 05:15 PM

For those of you running slip-on collectors, how are you retaining them onto the header? I delt with the tabs for year and wondered if there are better ways of doing it. Thanks

I have a tab on the header that mates with a tab on the collector, bolt and locking nut.
