You got to be kidding?

I can see where these teathers are needed on some cars, then ones where the collector is hanging off of the collector, with no other support. I think these people need teathers. When we built my car, when it came to headers and collectors, we have a clamp around the collector or muffler which bolts to the frame. Adding a teather to my car is redundant. It is not going to provide any more safety. I wonder what will happen when a collector comes off, and is teathered on a car like a super comp dragster, and now it is swinging around in the air as the car is going down the strip. All the pictures of the above, I agree need teathers, if fact I thing they need to be double teathered, to make sure they stay on. This is only two hundred dollars, but here we go again, where some one build something to be light and gain a advantage, and we all have to pay. Steve Williams S/G
