loud exhaust

[Hostetter]

coming home from church today i develop a ex leak. lifted hood and seen there was no pipe in back of turbo. got home and loosend clamp nut and thought i was going to remove clamp and install pipe back in and tighten down. Do i need a special set of clamp pliers to remove the clamp? Also it looks as ther may have been a rooled lip on the edge of ex. pipe at one time dont know for sure. Also did I hurt the turbo by driving it5 miles home with no ex. on back of turbo. any help would be greatly welcomed

on how to fix and if i need the pipe where to get one.

Should only need deep 1/2" socket to tighten the clamp. Clamp has "rolled" confiration to fit over rolls of turbo and exhaust pipe. You may have lost the clamp going down the road. Wont hurt anything to drive without the pipe if you can stand the noise. One of the tests mechanics perform on the engine is to remove the exh manifold completely and run the engine.

Several brands of automotive parts sell the downpipe as part of thier exhaust line. I have one that's butchered on the lower end you can have for a few bucks and shipping...



My former employer had a good used one in their bonepile last I knew. So should some other places that do turbo upgrades.
