When I tighten mine I lift up the whole quad while doin it then bounce the quad up and down to make sure I got it tight:devil: So mine goes loose a lot so I should rap electrical tape around it??? But what part should I rap???:confused:

Wrap around the threads and and the nuts. Keeps your threads clean and makes it easier to get them off.

I used mechanical seal loc-tite (I think that's what it's called).

If u strip it ur pretty damn strong:p

oh....so just pull UP on the thing till it goes back all the way in?? its like 8 threads loose but there doesn't seem to be a problem with anything yet...

IMO I would if its loose its not holdin all the bearing carrier and stuff together so ur bearings can go out faster. Plus even though there isn't a problem yet its better to solve a problem before it happens then to solve it after u have to buy bearings and maybe even a carrier;)

Crazyman u got to ditch that cobra pipe and get somethin good like a T-4 or if ur not a fan of procircuit get a e-series or lrd or tc, sumthin besides a cobra:cool:

right now i love my cobra, but all my friends hate it. It's too late though....it does sound really sh1tty but its super loud. Ther eis no way im getting a white brothers e-series b/c almost everyone has one of those things. Next on my list would be a dmc alien or a t-4 tho. If only I could go back in time....:ermm:

Def. go wit the T-4 you won't go wrong wit it

go with a LRD or sparks X-6

dont tighten it too hard this will cause excess pressure on the bearings and early failure tighten lock nut until snug and wrap counter-clock wise with tape.
