    Finding exhaust leak

    You can use either a mechanic's stethoscope to pinpoint it, or a fog/smoke machine. It's most likely the header bolts, those are notorious for backing loose, except you said you checked them, so I'm not gonna say for sure.

    What's up?!?!

    About 15,000. I've had them for a little over a year now. But I don't wanna buy new tires if it's gonna be sitting for a while. Maybe I'll just get some cheap Kumho's or something, I can mount and balance them myself at work, so that's not an issue. JT!!! How the heck are you?! I haven't...

    I think my fan isn't working since the tune..how much overheat to crack heads?

    FWIW dude, I overheated mine up to around 235* once and didn't warp the heads. I think past that and you should start worrying. Do you have a REAL temp. gauge, or are you just going by the crappy stock one? Oh yea, if the variables are right (temp is 212 (factory setting IIRC) and you're...

    What's up?!?!

    I haven't been on for a couple of weeks. Just wondering what I've missed. I've been EXTREMELY busy lately with buying the bike, riding the bike, modding the bike, washing the bike, looking at the bike, thinking about the bike, more riding. I'm also trying to move out, so I've been looking for...

    blew a head gasket today

    I too am wondering this. One usually does not blow a HG under light load conditions (pulling into a parking lot). Just take the whole smog system off and run a short belt, that's easiest and cheapest.

    Front wheel bearings - sealed or not?

    What about the rear wheel bearings? Do you have to pull the axles to get them out?

    Oil Change

    That's why I have NEVER taken any of my vehicles to these oil change stations. Too many young bucks working at them that have something to prove to the world. When you have to hit the wrench with a hammer to break loose the oil pan bolt, it's WAY too tight! (or when you have to hammer a...

    Everything is buttoned up tonight.

    Right on! :nice: There's a 5 position switch that comes with it. 1 through 4 are twEECer tunes, and 5 is off (stock, you can't write to this position).

    I think i might have an exhaust leak

    ROFLMAO :rlaugh: :lol: That reminds me of a saying You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

    I think i might have an exhaust leak

    Like bimmertech said, an exhaust leak will get louder as the engine load is increased. It's not 100% dependent on engine speed either. So if you mash the throttle at 30mph in 5th gear, if it gets louder, it's probably an exhaust leak. FWIW, they can "go away" once the motor warms up. As metal...

    best tire size for front

    I run 255/45/17's on my front 17x9's. Just watch out for curb rash, very little bulge to protect the wheel.

    x compared to h

    http://www.donjohnii.com/Pages/Exhaust_Clips_Page.html http://www.mustangexhaust.com/forums/soundclips.php?catid=6 (have to register to listen to clips) H is deeper and more old-school muslce sound. X is raspier.

    Just changed my belt, now my car shakes.

    :stupid: Yea, I'm guessing it was a loose plug wire too.

    snap crackle pop in my exhaust

    Since you say it just started, and you've had the catless pipe for a while, I'm gonna say it's not just exhaust related. Pull the codes, you might have a sensor going out, causing a rich condition. When my maf went out, I was getting some mad popping too. Also, check for any exhaust leaks, these...
