They are required because so many people NEVER do any maintenance to their cars. Thus not catching when tabs break or bolts come off. Just another case of all of us paying for the mistakes of others. Just like insurance....

FWIW I have seen this happen on three seperate occasions and always on dragsters. Where it should be easily seen if guys ever looked at their junk. Imagine tire shake is causing it to happen.



I pretty much had to tighten up the bolts on my Borla mufflers every few races.....just made it part of the post race maintenance routine....I can see the need for the tethers...if they save even one injury they're worth it....just happy to see the prices ending up where their affordable

I'm a little confused ( as usual ). Do collector extensions need tethers?

The tethers are for slip-on collectors. If the collectors attach to a flange with bolts then your good to go.
