Just noticed that without heat risers on my Okrasa build it leaves two holes in the rear tin. Is that an issue? If so any ideas of a fix that does not require welding?
Thanks
Bruce

Wasn't an issue on mine for over 25K. Do you have the connection for the HR on your exhaust? I just used the block off plates on mine.

Yeah just block it off and drive the car. That's exactly what they also did at Oettinger's and I never heard there were any issues Smile

Thanks for the comments. I decided to weld the holes up and re-powder coat.
