Re: Secondaries issue...
That doesn't mean it isn't collapsing under load. That was exactly the problem, they looked fine but when the pressure dropped under strong acceleration they folded. I would do a test drive without it in place and see if u can tell the difference. In any case I would add the Haibeck hoops as cheap insurance.

Re: Secondaries issue...
Darn.. Just ordered from Haibeck a couple days ago. Should've gotten the hoops.

Re: Secondaries issue...
Mine seems nice and stiff but I guess one would have. To be in there with the engine well it's speeding down the road with a flashlight to really know.

Re: Secondaries issue...
FWIW, I simply cut out a piece of aluminum flashing from Ace HW, lined the inside of the accordion tube, pop-riveted it and cut off the excess - about a 15 minute job. Works great, last ten years!

Re: Secondaries issue...
Are there any problems with the silicone sleeves?

Re: Secondaries issue...
I'm happy with the one I got from Jerry's. My not-very-modified LT-5 made good dyno numbers, feels strong.
Of course, it probably would with Marc's hoops, too. If Paul's mod uses flush rivets, it might be good for another extra .2 HP. :-)
