Vrsf muse o2 dump Leak!
Well it took me 3hrs to install my dump without taking the radiator out and i was lucky that all the bolts came off without any effort, now when i was intalling the downpipe to the o2 housing i noticed That the housing its too small for my 3 in downpipe and now i have a leak, has anybody gone through this how can i fix it ?

Are you saying that the outlet for the O2 housing is too small for the inlet on your downpipe? If that's the case... either, get a new downpipe, or get a new O2 housing? Not really any way to "fix it"?

Is it supposed to be 3"?

ah yes, just reading it, i knew the donut gasket was forgotten. poor donut.
most o2's are not 3" so the donut gasket is needed. there are a few that are actual 3" and the donut is not needed to seal any leaks. should be an easy fix just undoing the braces and downpipe.
