Help with Pipe mount

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

Hi Mike, I just started to run the 170 a couple weeks ago and I am 
disappointed with the o-ring seal of the header. Mine has enough backpressure to push 
the header off the adaptor. I wound up pinning mine.

On your set-up, you could avert my hassle by adding a header semi-soft mount.
