Interesting. What's the difference between this double slip design and others (non double slip). Just curious because I never seen such design for uppipe. I have seen it on catback, but not on uppipe.

slips are pretty common in quality header design. Thermal expansion has a place to expand without putting some much stress on the welds of a solid pipe, without the ribbed flex joint flow path of a flex pipe.

The slip joint allows for expansion with heat as well as aids in easy fitment and installation especially with other aftermarket parts. It ends up being relatively smooth inside, so it doesn't interrupt flow like a flex section. The main problem with slip joints has always been leaks, so instead of using a standard slip joint like most headers currently on the market, we used a double slip joint. The double slip has an inner and outer sleeve that the other side slides between. Along with the quality retainer hardware, this ensures a tight seal with absolutely no leaking.

Ed do you think to much Crank case Pressure could be a cause to my motor failures, do to oil squirting out the blow by hose every time its happened?
