loosen the flanges right before the chamber and get them nice and snug on the headers before you tighten the pro chamber back up.

If it wasn't for the leak, I wouldn't have know the car was running.

ooooohhhhh, why did you do that? my cam sucks too (stock with 1.7's) but my car is loud as hell. the exhaust affects the sound level the most, not the cam.

is that two sets off mufflers?

 

[cenok is family]

[ryan218]

here's the deal guys i just went out and checked my od........this car has now been drivent a total of 47.6 miles since i bought it begining of summer...I want to drive my car back to piqua sunday so that i can show my dad's buddy the car so that we can start figuring out what month my car will be painted...but im not driving it back sounding like this...aint happening...so I HAVE TO fix this before 2pm sunday...leaving around 2:30..or else i have to drive the ranger...which...is no fun to drive...so is there any type of rubber dount that i can buy and sammic between the header and mid pipe or what?

edit: plus 30 that is was driven when it had the old speedo in it

NO thats why stock headers have that round joint on them.

well it sure aint helping here...ill tell ya that much...it may not sound "loud" in the vid but i mite well not even have the mid pipe bolted at all...i just cant get it to seal right...i called a buddy of mine and he came over and either of use could get it to seal...thats the best that i could get it...in the vid..before it was like running open headers....which is quite loud i might add.

yeah the ball and socket style collector is a really good, effecient design and SHOULDN'T leak if you have the correct components. unlike stupid 3 bolt flanges on cheby's (and my car ) which require a gasket that blows out after about 100 miles. i had the same problem when i was trying to put a bassani X pipe i used to have on a buddy's aod car. no matter what i did, it wouldn't bolt in correctly and had a MASSAVE exhaust leak. oh and i was asking why you welded the flanges but now i'm guessing it came that way?

yeah it came this way...for 10 bucks for the whole thing i wasent passing it up on it was a good enough reason to get rid of the factory H pipe...i still want bullets though...that will be my muffler of choice in earl early 08...as soon as it starts warming up...

my cars an aod and this pro chamber ect came from a 5 speed car which didn't cross my mind till i got under the car and in my head went..shiiiiiiiiiiit..i was worried i would rub against something but he fits in there the same?..so why do some mid pipes say specific to 5 speed cars or aod cars?


where can i buy a gasket at for it...even if it just worked for 200 miles i would be fine with it...i just really would like to get the chance to drive my car for a change lol.

I'm kinda confused by the whole situation, can you take a pic of how it bolts on to the headers?(you said its welded..not sure what you mean)
