Ever since I installed my header, Ive noticed an exhaust leak-type sound from inside the cabin. I would assume that this is coming from the midpipe to cat connection. Does this affect exhaust flow? If so, how drastically? I searched BTW. Thanks

 

not too drastically, it would add more hp though.

 

Just make sure it's not leaking INTO the cabin, lol.

 

yeah, a cabin leak will give you a headache. It's not fun

 

ive had this leak for over 4 months..no headaches yet haha...thanks for the input guys

 

lol I had the same leak for a lil bit. you wont get a head eche as long as you dont sit in traffic for too long. But you will gain a little bit of bottom end once you fix that, depending on how bad it is. your car may not sound as cool but you will be a lil faster...

 

well..i didnt know this ..then i want to fix, without a doubt! Any suggestions on how to fix it? I think the problem is those damn bolts with the springs..its super hard to compress the springs and the bolts have a close end on them. So its like a combination of the springs being as compressed as theyll go, so they act like big washers, and the closed-end bolts do the same thing. Any ideas? thanks

 

does it have a gasket??? i have the same prob and i need a gasket.

 

remember to use new gaskets, and the springs are self tensioning they have a stop built into the bolt so they stop when tight, so that shouldnt be your problem

 

yea..I used the new gasket. And the leak sound was apparent the day of installation
