Anyone got any suggestions on how to "bridge the gap"?
I took it to an exhaust shop today to have my bassani x-pipe put on because the pipes going to the headers wouldn't reach on the left side once they went through the hangers...
So I'm waiting for the guy to start it up, and he does, and I'm very surprised at how loud it is... and then I realize when he pops the hood that it's all coming from the engine bay.
So basically, it looks like they're sealed, but it's louder than a damn top fuel dragster. It's sounds like the equivalent of running open headers, it's that friggin loud. It's leaking on both sides, but driver side worse than passenger.
I won't go two days in this thing without getting a ticket, so I gotta get this fixed ASAP. I believe the header clamp is bent, which definitely doesn't help things... but if there's ANY way I can avoid buying a new set of headers, I'll try it. Anyone have any suggestions?
Sorry for the long read.
