I actually had Remflex and crossover pipe gaskets blew out, and since I didn't want my car sounding like crap, I just had it replaced at a repair shop. They couldn't find any stock ones, so they just cut and made one for me, but I'm guessing it blew out again. I am overnighting Remflex gaskets for headers and crossover pipe since I don't know which ones are blown for sure. I should have the exhaust leak fixed tomorrow and get the IC couplers and clamps done on Friday.

I guess I'll also check them whenever I'm changing oil... my heatshields are off on the exhaust mani anyway since they were coated when I got them PnP'd.

I am swithcing to red ones as I'm doing this... 3 feet pieces are so expensive... like 70 bucks each. If you want red, I can sell you whatever I have remaining, which should be more than enough.

Anyway, I don't think the pipes will ever come loose after I'm done with this. It will just be a female dog to put on and take off

munky69 · 12-20-2007, 07:41 AM

yeah it will be. thanks, but i want to switch from blue to black. tho red would match to. i just want to cut down on the multi colors i got goin on

(red,blue,green) if i cut out the blue it'll be alot better

EarlQHan · 12-21-2007, 08:18 AM

Let's see some pics already! :]

Rookie84 · 12-21-2007, 11:12 PM

My car is still sitting at a shop... the couplers and clamps didn't come in today, but they should come in tomorrrow.

richyc · 12-22-2007, 02:46 PM

beast.

Rookie84 · 12-27-2007, 04:53 AM

Thanks, richyc.

My car is at Mach V now. It threw a CEL code P0171 which I think is a vacuum leak but I can't find it for my dear life. Still getting a lot of hesitation at partial throttle. I re-tightened and changed some clamps to T-bolts. I think I'll change everything to T-bolts later this week and change some couplers as well. So that means no pics until I get the car back. Mach V will be looking at it today to find what the problem is. Chatted with Dan while I was waiting for my ride to pick me up at Mach V and he seems like a very nice guy. Hopefully they'll be able to fix the problems. I also told them to cut a notch out for the IC piping to clear.

The car still had hesitation problem but I now know for sure that it is the BOV that is leaking. Damn cheap TXS BOV... I'm going to have it replaced with HKS SSQV that I have sitting at home.

Anyway, the pics are finally here! Excuse the really dirty car. Feeling pretty lazy so no PS editing was done... I'll probably just take some new pics later.
