Fabspeed tips won't get tight?

I have a fabspeed exhaust with fabspeed tips.

I tightened the tips as tight as they will go and they are still loose on the exhaust. Any ideas?

Mine are very tight, make sure the nut/ bolt is ok, as the bolt is welded from the topside to avoid twisting.

Do you have fabspeed tips now? I ended up putting my stock tips on end they fit fine.

The bolt and nut are fine. The clamp is closed as tight as it will go.

Yep, FS tips. Make sure they are the right ones, should easily fit, FS will prolly exchange them for you. There is supposed to be a bushing inside the clamp, like a expansion sleeve, was it still there? Maybe vivid gave you the wrong ones or left out the sleeves?

There are no sleeves. That is probably the problem.

BTW, The exhaust sounds sweet!

Yeah, they probably got misplaced. I can't complain for the price I paid.

Periokid- If you need the sleeve that goes inside the quad tip give me a call or send me a pm, and I will be more than happy to send them out to you.
