I feel retarded.... Need a replacement Blue Flame exhaust tip>>
 
As some of you know, I received my Blue Flame exhaust from kodeTT not too long ago. I finished installation a couple of hours ago along with re-torquing my 42DD downpipe bolts. Made sure everything was tight and drove home (worked at a friend's garage). I loved the improvement. Not long after getting home, I decided to head out for some food as an excuse to drive the car. I stopped for gas and noticed the bolt-on side exhaust tip missing!! After back tracking the route I took, I found the exhaust tip and it had been run over and messed up pretty badly. I swear I tightened the clamp very tightly. Anyway, now I need a replacement tip, already e-mailed Nigel, any other possible sources? I'm probably the only one this has happened to....Is it possible to repair an exhaust tip?

yeah, it happened to mikemoor and others. Even though it is a
 
used one, upon installing and the first run the thing gets hot again and upon cooling will cause the bolt to loosen. Next time after your first run, re-tighten it. Or, have someone put a bead on it. Lucky i read his experience in time to catch the thing lose after my first run: I wanted to post my install pics

I've just polished up the tip and clamped it on again for now, waiting for a reply from Nigel
 
about getting a replacement tip now.
