Fitted my side exit system today along with teh single piece downpipe and elbow from Big Jims group buy. Enjoy the sound, however the tractor thing that people go on about is indeed true. Couple of blows i need to sort though...
First blow is at the bottom of the downpipe, however the eghaust springs i took off were both diffrent, one was 17mm nuts and one was 13mm so thats probably not helping. Also are the springs themselves meant to sit at the bottom of the split?
Second blow is at the turbo, this might just be simple, so ill check its all tight tomorrow, its only a tiny blow and seems most apparant when the car is idling and the blow dissapears when the revs are held on at about 2k. There is a meatl gasket , any chance this may need replacing?
