Now that you have it in place with the zip ties, it's time to move up into the big boy league. Hose clamps.

if you don't believe in the religious overusage of zip ties...you're in the wrong place and GReddy wants you back.
Exactly. Mine are also held on with zip ties too....til I can find someone to tig my flanges on. There ain't nothing wrong with zip ties.

I don't hate on the zips its just funny. I used them on my HMIntake used out of a shop vac extentsion piece. The zips hold it. I'm going to try to find a way to drill and bolt it on or just tack it in place. I got a local machine shop and welder. He's helping with the downpipe so I might just have him tack it in a few places.

Fix that ----. How hard is it to drill a hole and bolt it up, or go to a fab shop and pay $10 for it to get welded on.

You're going to accelerate/brake/turn and it will be banging around and break. Being cheap will kick your *** down the road.
