Nice morning so I though - I know I'll put the Microns on I bought last month then go for a spin.
Well just spent 5hrs trying to get the damn left intermediate pipe onto the header pipe, even cut a 2nd slot in it to allow it to expand more and still no joy, it will not slip over the header.. anyone else had this happen - any suggestions welcomed - what do you recon to heating it up? will it expand enough?

Had this with loads of em, pain in d ass (as you probably well know), the only cure is to rub the header down and do the same with the inside of the link pipe. Try opening the end up a bit more on the link pipe too. You could heat up the link pipe, but, you'll never get it off later. If it's real bad then send em back or somit before you knacker ya headers.
Now Thats just showing off.
Give the man some sympathy. He probably doesn't want to hear that!
Or that I just fitted a new system on mine and it was a piece of cake.

Thanks for the sympathy - the right side went on in 5 mins - lulled me into a false sense of security didnt it
Thanks for the advice Del at least someone understands (cant send it back its an ebay special) - tried heating it up - it slipped on - cooled down in 2 seconds flat and ended up stuck solid pointing at the floor - lots of swear words later reheated it whilst setting fire to the other halfs oven gloves (used to protect the tyre and belly pan from the blow torch) and its off again - Its now down at the local engineer firm who will sort out the sizing for a £5- should have done that at the start.. git - its raining and dark now too
