Have an ARTech manifold myself, hes pretty much the man.

 

Yo Abe WTF!!! Let me get one of them!! lol

Did you wet the wrap when you put it on or did you do it dry? Looks like you did it dry.

 

I would do dirty dirty unforgivable things for an ARTech manifold.

 

agreed

 

I did do it dry (giggity) It was a quick in car job, so I got it as tight as I could. I had to take the start of it off to start the threads on my downpipe up top, that's why it looks loose.

 

Every time I've wrapped a dp I forget about the limited space on the bottom studs and start the wrap too high. Then I have to screw with it after its all on tight, and the pipe is back in the car. I do it every ******* time and ask myself why do I always forget this ****.

 

Don't feel bad I did the same thing on my FM3 manifold, and those stud/nut combo barely fit.
