Hello,
It appears that my cti hardpipe is leaking around the flange, any ideas on what to do about this? it might need to be rewelded...im not 100% sure tho - i am going to replace the o-ring inside the hks to see if that helps any but i do feel a good amount of air leaking out of the flange area...

oh ok, i thought the flange was welded on and i could not unscrew it? ... ill try that and also the oring on my bov is stretched and i think thats adding to it. all of a sudden i cant boost past 10psi - ill check the flange today and let you know whats up willy. thanks!
bump on this , willy i finally had a chance to pull the pipe off and check it, the flange was screwed on crooked. Took the flange off and screwed it back on as tight as possible but it looks like the flange still sits too high off the threads...there is a gap between the threads/flange. Looks possibly like it wasnt threaded far enuff down. Put some sealant around it but it would require a good amount of it..any suggestions?
and i actually pulled the pipe off a month ago..but im tryin to find out why my car is slow sigh..and i feel a crapload of air comming from the flange ;/
