Few things.

2004 RSX Type S


Mods are Buddy Club header
RBC intake manifold
Kpro
Stock k20
fujitsubo exhaust
recently went from Injen CAI to Mugen intake

1st I think I have an exhaust leak. I checked the header no cracks on the buddy club, then checked the exhaust and just the normal bottom out scratches but no holes what so ever.

Therefore I think It is the exhaust gasket.

The exhaust all of a sudden sounds really weird, but not as if it really has a hole cause it should sound like a hellicopter and doesnt. I do feel heat coming out of the side of the car when the car is on and its near where the header and exhaust meet.


Next after driving about 45 min on the highway the other day i came home and the car seems to have a burning smell.

I checked the oil and it basically looks like I have 0, wtf.

I just changed it in the middle of october and I use Royal Purple. I have been using it a year now and generally change my car every 2-3 months. I know it is about time but I didnt think I ever burned this much oil.


Just a question would my tune based off a Injen CAI vs changing to the mugen make any small or big difference? Should a datalog my car now and see what it looks like? Would I need a 1st gear pull or would a 3rd gear pull be sufficient?

 

Take the car to a shop, put it on a lift & start inspecting everything.
