So my LRD pipe keeps leaking at the flange. I've had about enough. I'm thinking of getting rid of it. If I was to, would anyone be interested in it? Non adjustable with silencer. Little dings and minor surface rust.
I'm done!

I don't even know. I know they can be worth a pretty penny, but I also want to hook up my fellow blaster members. I don't have a replacement pipe either. I might even trade.
I think I'm gonna go that route. I want a low to mid range pipe. I was looking at the DMC alien pipes. Heck I don't know. What would you be willing to offer?
that looks good! would accept some blaster parts with the fmf pipe for a trade? ive got some cases, cylinders, basically anything.
I literally just got rid of a pile of blaster parts. I can't do that. Whatever money I may get from this pipe has to get me another.
You know id be interested in that LRD, I love them, pm me a price man. Ive actually been looking for another one for my stroker
Why is it leaking? Is the flange bent where it connects to the cylinder? Did you install a new gasket? Did you use ultra copper where the pipe meets the flange? Are all of the pipe hangars installed and in good shape?
All is in good shape. Copper rtv was used. When I put it on the mating surfaces were cleaned thoroughly. New gasket installed. It's not leaking where the flange sits on the cylinder, but where the expansion chamber sits in the flange. In my opinion not the best design. I would think it would seal better if the pipe went over the flange not inside.
Hmmm that's something to think about. It's just a pain in the a** taking that pipe on and off. I'm just worried about putting too much and some of it frees up inside and gets sucked into the exhaust port.
Yeah I was too. I literally put like a half inch bead on the flange and then slid the pipe on it so the excess would be pushed out of the seam and then tried to squish it back in with my finger. In your case if the pipe goes inside the flange, put the rtv on the pipe. Should be easier for you actually, but its a pain either way trying to do it by yourself
The LRD does to. Since they don't make the pipe anymore I can't get the right o-ring. So, I've using a fmf one, but they get brittle and fall apart. I'm busting out the JB Weld. No just kidding.
not sure what kind the fmf o rings are but I just bought a pack of #223 silicone high temp o rings off of eBay. They seem to be holding up well so far
