    Exhaust Woes

    My o2 sensors are less than a year old. I'm not too sure about the AFR's though, I will look into it. I had Paul's Automotive Engineering do the Head swap and they removed all of the EGR and the smog pump, I just assumed they buttoned everything up well. What exactly should I explain to them...

    Exhaust Woes

    I've been battling with my exhaust for about 6 months now and I am running out of ideas. First, somehow an exhaust smell is leaking into the cabin, sometimes through the heat and other times it just seems to find its way in on its own. I've been through the whole things about a dozen times and...

    Exhaust Smell

    I've had it in and out of the shop 3 times and everything has been tightened up every time. Maybe some thread lock will be required to keep everything in place. As for the cannister, if it's related to all the EGR stuff, it was all removed.

    Exhaust Smell

    Hey guys, it's been a long time...I've been having issues with the smell of exhaust inside my car. I smell like I've been mowing the lawn whenever I get out, even if it's only for a few minutes. Also, sometimes I can smell exhaust entering through the vents when the heat is on. I've had the...

    Tune after Fuel Pump Install?

    I know there isn't a tank leak because I just had a new tank installed as well...Long story about the old one. So you're saying I should take it back to the shop and have them work it out?

    Tune after Fuel Pump Install?

    I recently installed a 255lph fuel pump in my car and my gas mileage has dropped tremendously. I used about 11 gallons to go 170 miles when prior to the swap I could make the trip in about 6 gallons. Will I need to retune my car to make everything run normally? Thanks in advance.

    Weird Exhaust Flow

    Since it's been getting cold, I've noticed that I have an uneven exhaust flow when I initially start the car. The passenger side goes as normal, but it takes the driver's side a few minutes to get the flow going. Any ideas?

    My exhaust journey...

    Flowmaster sound the best, period. I only switched from them because I don't feel they are constructed all that well.

    My exhaust journey...

    I drove about 500 miles with the Bassani's on...They sounded good, but were definitely too quiet.

    My exhaust journey...

    Yeah, they took it back after installation. There were a couple issues I was having with my particular application that will hopefully cause them to waive the restocking fee.

    My exhaust journey...

    I just wanted to let you guys know my thoughts on the exhaust systems I've tried out within the past few weeks... Initially I started out with BBK Longtubes, O/R H-pipe and Flowmaster 40's. This setup sounded absolutely amazing, but the flowmasters just rattled too much no matter how many...

    Compression Woes

    Hey guys, so while trying to figure out where all the oil in my engine was going to I had a compression check completed. The cylinders ranged between 3% and 23% beneath where they should. What can I do to cure this? Or at least help a little bit? Thanks in advance.

    Stock Rocker Arms

    Are you 100% positive? I am trying to order some AFR heads, but I have a lot of different people giving me a lot of different answers.
