Exhaust Sleeve Question
Well, I took my headers off yesterday and noticed that one of my exhaust sleeves is loose. I can move it a little bit with my finger, the other one doesn't move at all though. Not much I can do about it, so I'm wondering is it ok to leave it like this? I can't pull it out or anything, but I don't think it should be loose. Any info is appreciated.

It shouldn't go flying out.  If it's loose, I wouldn't worry too much.  There's two roll pins that keep the sleeve from falling out.  The sleeve needs to sheer (next to impossible) these two pins if it wants to back out of the housing.  There is nothing that really pushes that hard on the sleeves, unless the engine is ingesting something solid, in which case it'll kill the engine first...or, if the housing melts, which would also kill the engine.

Whew, I was really worried for awhile there. It doesn't move into the housing at all, just kinda wiggles inside there, and you can pull it out only slightly. Thanks guys.
