Only if you want to get out the car on the motorway after it has blown the pipes off :cry:
If you do loosen them tie them with a tie wrap or similar so you dont loose them when they blow off :wink:
on 3.5 the AFM controls the fuel pump so you cant use petrol and with no pipe you cant draw gas :(
Buy a backfire protector, try searching 'tinley-tech' some people swear by them. mine came off e-bay
Been there-done that and looking for pipes on a busy dual carraigeway is no fun :oops:

It shouldnt be blowing pipes off on dual carriageways or its all set up wrong..only time mine blows the pipe off is under load on steep hills. So basically on v steep tarmac or offroad when you bury the throttle...
Range Rover Blues:
When our on a draw through backfires it's because it's done a valve. I had it backfire on the M1 once though, coming up the hill from Megahell :roll:
I built my own in the end, 2 plates of 3mm steel, couple of short lengths of piep the right size and the shoe retaining springs from a Cortina to hold is all together. Valve grinding paste to lapp the halves together, the partial vacuum keeps things airtight.

Thanks for the advice. We've located an ebayer that supplies the part recommended so dads gonna try him first.
