got longtubes and i got an exhaust leak on the passenger side header not sure where it is but is this really bad for my car and should i pay the $300 dollars that i was estimated to get it fixed

 

what do you mean really bad for your car????? Other than the nasty sound it makes and a couple of HP's drop... nothing bad will happend. $300.00 for an exhaust leak... is that with or with out vasaline? Dude I'm sure it's just a gasket either on the header or the collector. Get the Percy's ($36)for the headers and the collector ($17). so you wont have to deal with exhaust leaks on that part.


$300.00 is way to much

 

maybe he can't fix the problem himself...

 

Never heard of anyone that would charge $300 for a gasket change

 

I'll do it for ya man, are you close to IL? we can knock that bitch out EASY in a half day..

 

i live in st louis and i really dont want to do it myself because it was bitch to put them in and i dont want **** with the car any more it is really getting on my nerves that is all

 

you might not even need a new gasket, just listen for the tick and tighten the nearest bolts as best you can, i had one on my manifolds and that solved the problem.

 

last one i had leak cost me $75.00 at a local shop

 

i was quoted $300 from an exhaust shop that i talked to

 

I have 2 crossthreaded head bolt holes where the header bolts go in...No fun, and I hate that sound. I don't have money to for a shop to heli-coil it either. I COULD just tap it...But I don't know.

 

Can you fix 2 crossthreaded bolt holes? Let me know, I'm in IL.

 

is he just making a joke or what

 

good question... lol

 

that one just went over the stadium wall.....lol....

 

I wouldnt pay $300 to get my exhaust leak fixed!! Never!

 

Yea, it might be just a couple of loose bolts. I always run it through 3 heat cycles, checking and tightening everything. $300 would get you a new Cat-back, I would have a little word with that place...

 

Its somewhere out in the parking lot...... lol

 

I seriously recommend trying to tighten the bolts before you go anywhere, that could solve all your problems

 

REALLY--just tighten them up..if this problem happens again..get PERCY's CARBON GASKETS...these things are good for high compression and blower motors...if they leak..anything will...STREETWARRIOR96 IS CORRECTO-MUNDO..
