Has anyone ever had any issues with their DC spts ceramic header? My lude sounds like it has a leak, i checked it and the raspy noise is coming from the "weaved" piece right before the cat and after the 02 sensor..It's part of the set that I got from DC..

 

The piece I believe you are referring to is called a "flexpipe". Just head down to your local exhaust shop. A replacement shouldn't be that much.

 

cool thanks..you heard of this problem before? kinda wierd, it happened outta nowhere..didn't bottom out or anything..

 

do yourself a favor and replace the collector with a 2.5 in collector if you gotta do some cutting and welding down there.

 

If I were to guess, the bracket that mounts the downpipe to the block broke. They are fairly common to break. It rips a hole in the top portion of the downpipe.
