[T3] OTT Exhaust Install

[Keith Park]

Those flex hoses will all break off and fail within a few thousand miles,
best to build up something more secure.  I welded 2 elbows together to get
what I needed, Jim is right, you'll overheat when the break.

Be sure to install that flex hose before you go for your test drive. 
If that's left off, you will lose a significant amount of cooling air 
before it gets any chance to cool your engine, and that can lead to 
overheating the engine.

And when you install it, make SURE it's secure. Nothing's more 
disappointing than discovering that your flex hose has fallen off and 
you've been overheating your engine for the last few hours or days or 
weeks. You need to check it regularly.
