I just Installed Greddy Headers on my Sohc Vtec civic... everything is on properly my dad is a machanic so he ozziously know what he is doin.. but it sounds like there is air coming out under the car...which can mean loss of power and gas mileage.. Let me know whats wrong

 

Any Suggestion's what the problem is.. it sounds like air is leaking out of them

 

See if all of your flanges are lined up and tight and make sure there are no cracks in the header.

Did you forget to put a gasket between the header & cat?

 

I put everything on.. and everything is properly tighten... and the header wasn't cracked because they were brand new

 

well you obviously have a leak O.o

 

First, it's a header, not headers. Secondly, could be an exhaust leak from your piping, or it could be from a lack of properly tightened bolts on the header. I am assuming that you re-used some gasket that was cracked. Just take off what you put on recently and you will find the culprit. Finally, hit spell check for ****'s sake.


In case you were wondering, spell check has the "ABC/Check Mark" picture.


Ninja edit: Don't tell me you're in college? Wow, just wow.

 

i put new gaskets on it when i changed it..

that's a bad assumption to make...

 

my car just sounds different with them on.. at low rpms sound like there is a leak in my exhuast but that can't happen because it is a month old and also it was installed by a mechanic

Don't make such assumptions.

i don't understand, if your dad is a mechanic, then why not ask him?
i would check you bolts where it meets the cat. or did you think that maybe that's how that brand of header sounds.

 

put the old gasket on there... it worked before mayb the new gasket on there is jacked up kinda hard to help u out when u have no pics or no sound clips
