What exhaust system was fitted??
Powertech Performance cans and s/s downpipes with Powertech Link pipes.
51 is doable probably actually 50.9 but i do believe the Scorpion systems are 52 just to be awkward so one cannot slip anything else on

Re: Dont forget the washers!!

Another point that can be missed is the small o ring on the dowel under the cam cover if that gets missed the same effect will happen

Damn was hoping you were going to say 50.9mm. Still at 52mm SP engineering can sort my links to fit their cans. These guys look like they do a really good job and have has some really encouraging reviews.
