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?

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.

Yea Im going back to using the piping the kit came with. I just tried to fit it because it came with my ets FMIC kit. and my pipe that came with the kit is dented up at the ends causing me to have some boost leak.

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