I installed this once with the "lock-tite" that is comes stock with and it leaked really bad, so I reinstalled it with high pressure silicone stuff and it still leaks (though this time only at the 90 degree elbow).  Help, I don't want to feel like I wasted $35!

Wheres it leaking from, where the SS line/fitting screws in?

If so use teflon tape. Wrap 3-4 layers CLOCKWISE around the threads and smoothe it out.

if it is leaking by the tombstone than just take the tombstone out and screw it tighter on the Expansion Chamber and put it back in!
