209_dup2 209_dup2 Poster Registered: 10/04/05 Posts: 340 Loc: Tracy, CA	i put in my greddy header it sounded like i had an exhaust leak were it connects to the cat,(makes a loud hizzing sound) but i checked it twise and no leak, but it also started to rattle in first gear i sounded like a ricer, so i took it to a muffler shop to check for leaks and he said it didnt have any, he even lifted the car and reved it an he said it was all good. So should i be hearing this noise, is it normal, does it go away? I used my oem doughnut gasket, that might be the problem right? maybe i need a new one or a different size for this header? but over all the car runs about normal no real loss of power just an anoying ass sound http://youtube.com/watch?v=kIcZWuYncKA Edited by 209_dup2 (03/29/08 02:52 PM) _________________________ http://www.cardomain.com/ride/793405 http://www.myspace.com/rojas209 MY DYNO RUN

From what a saw it looks fine installation wise. Yes, ur fine using the oem doughnut gasket on that header. Try removing the heat shield from the cat, sometimes it rattles a bit. _________________________ 2000 EBP Si 181.5whp, 119wtq- All Motor B16 1994 EG Hatch 2000 BMW 328ci 207 Forever- RIP

209_dup2 209_dup2 Poster Registered: 10/04/05 Posts: 340 Loc: Tracy, CA	ive been paying more attention to the noise, i think its all rattle, so im going to do what strsi said take off the heat shield se what that does Update: Well i fixed it, it was such a simple problem that i missed it all together, it was an exhaust leak were the pipe from the header conects to the cat, I guess the stock bolts werent letting it seal all the way so i got some other bolts and ta-ran problem fixed. Thanks guys for the help Edited by 209_dup2 (03/29/08 02:55 PM) _________________________ http://www.cardomain.com/ride/793405 http://www.myspace.com/rojas209 MY DYNO RUN
