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.

If you're in Canada, your local Mitsu dealer should have it
