Quick Question on ProChamber

Lefty · December 26th, 2008, 09:23 PM

I'm installing my ProChamber tomorrow morning on my 01 Cobra. I know I've seen some things about removing the driver side studs and replacing them with bolts. Do I HAVE TO DO THIS??? I never did anything of that nature when swapping my midpipe on my 96' GT...

Well try it, if it snugs up your good. I changed the studs to ones the didn't have spacers/shims on them.

Lefty · December 26th, 2008, 09:31 PM

So it's more of a 50-50 thing pending what brand you get and what not? Cuz like I said...I've never heard of this til' now. My GT just bolted her right up no leaks, nothing...

Well I didn't the first time I had a leak but it was on the other side not the one with the questionble studs (drivers side). I went a head and changed them the second time just for good measure.

i have a prochamber on mine, and i still have the studs. No leaks .. and on the passenger side, i didnt use a gasket, i just used orange hi temp RTV and it sealed it perfect ..

jivepepper · December 26th, 2008, 09:56 PM

Stock gasket if fine. Do not over tightnen it though.

i thought about using the stock gasket, but i didnt like how it fit with the prochamber flange. Didnt want to put it all together for it to leak

Mine never. Usually the high temp rtv will blow our after a while. I have lt's and a custom x pipe now.

Lefty · December 26th, 2008, 10:14 PM

Well I got an oem gasket to put on the passengers side...so i shouldn't have to worry about the stud replacements?

casper gt · December 26th, 2008, 11:47 PM

50/50 type thing. I just do it to any car now after so many leaking I've had experince with. too much work to put on only to have leak & have to take back off. I always use new ford gasket also.

Lefty · December 27th, 2008, 01:02 AM

I guess i'll just put her on and see how it goes. what bolts can/should i use?

SWEET2KSTANG · December 27th, 2008, 07:44 AM

the mac x we had on doc's car had a little collar that slipped inside the piping on the drivers side. it leaked till we put it in. if the prochamber comes with one, i suggest putting it in.
