    Jardine 4 into 1 Exhaust Installation

    I love the looks of this exhaust I picked up new about 6 years ago. I have one big question.

    The header pipes slip into the main canister and there are no collars our anything to secure each pipe.

    Am i missing something?

    Nope! Mine is the same way and I am not aware of a leak. I don't know if I have a Jardine or not.

      That is actually a good design, welded systems tend to crack at the welds due to expansion and contraction because of heating and cooling of the pipes. Slip joints allow for it.

          It's getting there. The exhaust sounds great.

            Glad this question was asked. Have a jardine in my stash and was wondering why there were no clamp marks on the muffler or crossover connections.
