exhaust

[oOSparkyOo]

Hello everyone i recently got a new exhaust system put in and now i hear this sound like air escaping under load i know it has to be something to do with there not being a gasket anyone have a suggestion ?? if this sounds wrong i assume there's no gasket cause a gut at autobahn told me they don't come with gaskets its metal on metal ???? hmmm any help would be nice this soudns makes my exhaust sounds bad

hey mate was it a full system, eg headers to tip or just a cat back? Did you install it or did someone else install it?

[oOSparkyOo]

machanic installed from headers down but sounds like air escaping when u accelerate

[delcowizzid]

head flange gaskets or the join under the car to the Y-pipe from the extractors.they come out with no head flange gaskets but its best to install them when you put extractors on

[crazy.vr]

Go back to the mechanic and tell him to fix it.

for the head flange gasket is there any available for my model or similar model to the 3.8 or is it custom to the extractors

[delcowizzid]

yeah repco etc sell them bought some on the weekend VN-VR V6 exhaust manifold gaskets think they were $16 for the pair.

thank you ill try them i went to sprint and autobarn and they said vr dont have gaskets hmmmm

[TheForgotten]

bullshit i got mine from autobarn about a week before xmas

oh and if it sounds like escaping air it's not a header flange, they make ya car sound like a diesel with a fcked lifter
it'll be extractor to cat or extractor y-pipe flange

if i am to change the gaskets over on the head flange do i need tot take off the valve covers because of the brake booster for abs ?

un bolt the headers and you will be able to slide them down into place easy enough
