Licp to short??

I have a ETS licp that is just short. Connected to the fmic its about two to three inches short to the turbo.



So im planning on having a shop cut it on the strigaht part and bead the ends. Then I plan on using a silicone couplet that is about a foot long between the cut.

You guys think thats going to work?

Where's your compressor outlet pipe - the little black pipe that comes off the turbo?

Then you didn't expect to fit. I thought you were saying you were surprised. Turbo kits like that usually come with a custom LICP for this very reason.

No, I don't think a 1' "couplet" (coupler) will work.

Well, that's what you should be using. Shearer should get back to you and replace it.

Yeah, read above - he said it's a Shearer 50-trim, thus the confusion on my part.
