It comes in a black bottle instead of white. It's intended for automotive use.



I've got to say... the shots that I got in my shoulders have helped so damn much. After wailing on that pipe all morning, I would've been a rough shape tonight. But the shoulders feel fine.

Never used the Max.

I'd rather drink the Max than listen to ska.

Prob already realized all that lol.
Maybe that's why I'm having the trouble. If the pipe "nipple" MF puts on the muffler is strong enough that it's not crimping down at all, it won't hold the tailpipe which slides inside. Hmmm...

I used my pipe expander yesterday... and it was a lot harder to expand the Walker pipe than the OEM pipe. In fact, a little too easy on the factory pipe.

Tenneco owns a lot of my favorite brands. Wagner, Monroe, Federal-Mogul, FelPro, MOOG.... Also Dynomax.

I like the self tapping zip screw idea in this situation....unless it's super loose.

A couple years back, my Buddy that owns Classic LED's gave me a tip on those to just tack weld it in place. Then it can't slide out or rotate. The tacks are easy to remove if you want to disassemble it in the future.

If you have a welder handy...

I don't know...running a screw out vs grinding weld if you had to is much easier, cleaner imo.

Personal pref I guess.
