Peeled the exhaust system back off

Welded up the passenger header on the bottom by 1/4" and ground it clean so that the ports match the heads. Then used Ultra Black and reattached the header, sealed all the V bands, and cut the pipe off the frame after building a few more hangers back on the end
 
I've heard of people bolting a strap across to stop that happening.
 
How do you know it's pushing out? Making noise or pushing the seal out?
Yep, with the strap, still worked out 1/8”.

I smacked it back in with a hammer. This 205 has been a pain in the ass since day one. I honestly might build another
 
so the steel strap is between the case and the retainer correct? That's some decent force to bend 1/4" steel......

That's what I was thinking. If you reinforce the strap and keep that pressure inside it might break something else. Of course, that might make diagnosis easier. LOL
