After Header Install Questions
After Header Install Questions OK, got the Jet Hot LTs and catted Y Pipe in. Wrapped all the joints with exhaust tape and used TorcTite band clamps on all the joints except where the y connects to the I pipe on my Loudmouth.
1) Have a little bit of banging on the floorboards, but it only seems like it's at start up. Is this normal? Is fix just some heater hose or poly motor mount?
2) I installed the Jet Hot high flow cats and no codes so far, which I didn't expect to have any, but I am getting some odor, not sure if it's gas or what, but definitely a different smell than I am used to. Is this normal, is there a fix?
3) If I decide to scrap this POS Ypipe and go with another, what would you recommend, or should I have a muffler shop fab one up for me?
Thanks
Bryan

Parbreak...do you notice a loud ticking noise after the header install? It ticks under load whenever I accelerate. I have no exhaust leaks, my check valves are good, and I did the restrictor mod. WTF!!

im with mustang5.0hater, i went that route to get rid of the banging, best thing i've ever done. although get the dr. gas x pipe if you are gonna do it yourself, it will save you the trouble i've run into.
even with the restrictor mod, some cars still will tick. i just put a block off plate between the air tubes and headersb ut kept it all on there just in case during inspection. ticking problem was solved.
Good luck. oh if you wanna keep the y pipe you got on their for money reasons or any other reason try the heater hose, i did that too and it worked pretty well.

if im not mistaken camaro ss 2002 if you pull the fuse, you will set off the SES light. mine came on for about 50 miles then it shut off, came on again then went off and its been off for about 75 miles now. and that was just putting the block off plates in and not doing anything else. i might pull the fuse just to see what it does, cause im gonna be getting a tune here shortly so ic an remove all that bull **** in there and not get any codes.
