Wait until you hear how my LSxxx sounds with the Tri Y's from my header hippie.

Can I get my baling wire SFI approved?

Only if purchased from Ace Hardware Stores...

I would be interested to know how many cars loose their headers and collectors during a race every year.

Interesting there is only 1 vendor for the product too and they probably have a patent or copyright on the product.

Unbelievable....the enhancements keep coming. What else can they make us put a tether on that can come loose? Driveshafts....balancers.....hoods? And a company has already "stepped up" with a solution. It's obvious that common sense left the building long ago!

What a joke! It BOLTS on. So their "Approved" bolts are more secure than your bolts.

No kidding. Typical overreaction .
How about "Two welded tabs or straps on each collector, 1/4 -20 bolts, lock washers required"
Then have a tech get down on the ground and look under the backside with a mirror.
I know. "fat" chance of that happening...(Not you, Travis)

I agree with Mark; welded tabs with the proper fasteners should be acceptable. If NHRA still has a concern, then use and aviation high temperature lock washer such as the NAS1061, and use a high temperature aviation lock nut such as the MS21046 which is good to 800°F.

So this "tether" will keep any loose exhaust tubing "contained" under your car, potentially bouncing around and beating on your fuel/trans lines, oil/trans pan and/or the driveshaft?

I also wonder if this has any affect on cars using full exhaust systems, with or without mufflers.
