582 guys how long are your muffler standoffs?

[C5Engineer 1170]

I've been trying to seal up an Exhaust leak on my elbow where the springs are. I think my whole muffler needs to come off the firewall some to better than angle where the elbow meets the manifold. I think my current ones are about 1" or so. Just curious if anyone else has already been there and done that or knows of a better set up than the elbow with springs.

Joey, I replaced my springs with the clamp kits from LEAH, and Lockwood. They are not cheep but work better then springs. Russ.

Russ with these guys?

I was just looking at these today for $32 a piece and was wondering if they would work. I think if I got things lined up a little better it would solve my issue. I don't like the idea of hot exhaust blowing out under the cowl not to mention to the Carbon Monoxide risk.

I use the clamps also Joey and they work good,put antiseize where the two flanges meet and dont overtighten the clamps and they work great.They are a little spendy though. Randy

I used the red/orange high temp cilicone "in" each joint, w/springs,

let setup before running the motor.

This motor has +- 60 hrs and is as clean as the day we put it on.

No fumes or black gupe

I didn't know about the clamps or might have used them.

Those are the ones Joey. I had to grind a little on the ID of clamps to make a good fit. Other than that no problems. Good luck. Russ.

Hey Bob,

Does your exhaust system flex much? Thanks, Bryce
