sltous Posted August 27, 2022 Posted August 27, 2022 Hello, My Raceco offset exhaust endcap is cracking for a second time. I will be trying to get it rewelded but if anyone has a front end cap or a whole system they are looking to sell shoot me a PM. Thanks
MV8 Posted August 27, 2022 Posted August 27, 2022 The difference in thermal expansion between the thick weld and the thin cap and pressure is why it fails. Add a layer of silica cloth/mat/fabric to the inside of the cap. The material is similar to header wrap but you need one, wide piece to fit with no gaps. Cut the hole a little small to slip over the tube for a nice fit. Something like this: https://www.mcmaster.com/8827K25/ Might want to do both ends.
