Exhaust Springs

[ippielb]

What do you guys run for exhaust springs? Double up stock springs? Or buy aftermarket springs that are stronger?

I have a 700cc so i only have the 3 hooks on the manifold and the two on the end of the pipe to the turbo.

Can't find anything on Internet abou them. Has anyone tried the BD springs? They're $10 a piece while ac ones are only $2

From what I understand, the BD springs are 3:1 to stock spring tension. My buddy uses them on his turbo and seems to like them.

i use the bd springs on my sled, i broke one of them after about 100miles,
so i put silicone inside and outside the spring and let it dry before putting them back on
havent had a failure since
the vibration is what kills them

pull hard

bd springs 1300 miles on them no failures. the trick to get them on is use a heavy duty boot lace loop it then pull ,no crimping ,scratching with hooks, pliers which weakens the hook.,

Are they worth the $10 a spring?

 

[kcdavidak]

to me yes, do i have spares yes. haven,t used them.

I have had the same springs on my turbo for two years now. I took them off a old lawn chair I was throwing away.
