I believe that on the MIP pipes, the pressure line just fits in the hole in the exhaust. I had a MIP exhaust on the MAX, which was that way.

yeah the pressure line on those MIP exhausts just goes into the hole and sits there. I really wish they would just spend the extra couple cents and put a brass 90* or straight barbed hose in those pipes. Just better piece of mind knowing the pressure line won't get pulled out as easily.

Only put about 1/2" of the pressure line in. Gabe was having problems with the TC3 with the same type of exhaust setup, till he realized there was too much pressure line in the exhaust.

My pipe on my RC10GT just has a hole in it. I dont know made the pipe but I have wondered if I could just find a small brass threaded nipple to screw in there.

You can put a brass fitting in there but the problem I found was that the existing hole was too big for the fittings to thread into.

Yeah, I tried to find one the right size, but with no luck. The one's with the right size nipple had too small of a threaded part, the one's with a big enough threaded part had too big of nipple and the threaded part was too long...
