<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">There are two problems using teflon. The first is that it is not very elastic, nor flexable. If you try to muscle this type onto a CF inlet tube you risk breaking the inlet tube. Second is that teflon cold flows. This means that a tight fit will become a loose fit....at room temperature over time. Exhaust temps make this happen faster. The 4stroke versions of this that I have seen were metal to metal and a spring loaded clamp on the teflon to compensate for the cold flow problem. </font>
