Corsa installation question......

so i got the installation done 2day.....cant drive it yet (winter here), but i started it up.

Corsa says 45lb of torque on the clamps (which isn't enuff). i went tight enuff to secure the 2 pipes but when running the car, i'm getting water dripping outta the clamped joints.

my question is.........is that normal?

i know the small amount of smoke is, and the smell is, but the exaust moisture?

Congrats on a great system.

That is perfectly normal and tighter is not better, you can distort the pipes and make things worse.

Don't be afraid to retorque after a few heat cycles, but do not exceed 45 ft. lb torque.

Ted.

No it only stops when system is dry, it will drip when system is cold.

Normal
