I fabbed an FP doughnut gasket adapter for this J2 pipe from a scrapped exhaust:

Little to long: but will not interfere with fitment:

I didnt realize how much longer the J2 pipe was:

At least a good 1.5" longer from eyeballing, 2" with the adapter added:

The old crusty:

New gaskets:

Installed and checked for leaks:

FP with new gaskets and adapter fist log: http://datazap.me/u/solidone/stg1-fp...mark=6730-6703

Horrendous "knock," topped out at -5 flkc... All that work for even more "knock"

If I torque down the hardware any more stuff is going to start getting twisted and bolts will stretch or break...

Looks like the best place for that pipe is the bin.

Stock or any other catted FP the correct size would be best bet.

Funny, or rather unfunny thing is that it would cost more to "fix" it than just buy a new one for 99 bux off ebay.. or I can chop off the flange and use the adapter as a flange.
