u have exhaust leak? blown gasket?

BobS · 02-10-2011, 07:16 AM

Just ordered mine from Ar's website.

Man I don't even know.....not to blame anything on the exhaust install but EVERYTHING was dine before that.....

I'm trying to narrow it down, but I know something's not right.....

I first thought it was the coupler connecting the cp to the IC pipe, checked and changed that, but issue remains.

So now I'm thinking it's the connection between the dp and the exhaust.....cause my shop guys said that he had to reuse the old gasket.

Damn that sucks, I compared the old gasket to our downpipes and if you reuse the old gasket you will have a slight lip from the gasket, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem. It's worth a try though.

I forgot to look but can you adjust the blow off valve you have? I started thinking last night with the change in vanos the vac might change and open the blow off valve at certain RPM due to the spring stiffness being set for stock vac. Just an idea.

I had an exhaust leak, it was actually blown gasket. Even at idle my exhaust was making pretty loud flapping sounds and could only reach 11-12 psi. Once i replaced with bomb proof gasket, everything was fine. But then now i have whistle hissing after let go off throttle 1/2 way...stupid leaks everywhere on this car!!!

cstmx_ryder · 02-10-2011, 01:34 PM

Wait what about the VANOS? how would that be diff by adding catless exhaust?

I think I can adjust the BOV, but haven't touched that since the day I installed it......

ETS Michael · 02-10-2011, 01:44 PM

I was just thinking out loud. Maybe the change in vanos changes the cam position which changes the vacuum. If you can adjust the blow off valve I would try tightening it up a bit and see what happens.

Hissing sound from your DV/BOV when let off throttle? Isn't that normal?

Mines comes on when going WOT.....it just sounds more and more like my BOV dumping boost half way like when you're on light throttle......

God damn it!! Lol

Also, can anyone with the AA BOV chime in on this?
