i need help big time
ok i got my o/r h pipe on but it seems like there is a leak from the passanger side.
it took me and my friend bout 3 hours to do pita
what could have gone wrong.
when i took the stock h down there was no gasket is that maybe the problem or what
i made sure eveything aligned right before we tighten everything
byt the way it is too loud lol after 2k rpm it really kicks in

[sm=alcoholic.gif]Exhaust leaks.. I don't like to speak of these anymore. You don't wanna know my history with them. But anyways, if your stock one had no gasket, and you know no one had owned the car before you/ put on an aftermarket midpipe, thats wierd. Maybe its still on the midpipe and you didn't see it? Get a new gasket from ford, it'll run you about 9 bucks. If that doesn't do it, buy new studs for the manifolds. Make sure not to torque down one thing then move on.. get it all on losely, then take your time making rounds tightening it.
Peace.
Peace.

RE: i need help big time
If the leak is above the front o2 sensor,,,,pcm will think the engine is running lean and addfuel....so it should run, technically abit rich....I doubt running it for a day will hurt anything....I've got my x pipe in the garage....and looking at it...the right side fronts,,gotta have a gasket...and that will bethe first side i'll try and tighten,,becasue its flat...also gonna use ultra copper RTV on both side of the gasket,,,very good sheet....I used it on my headers(old race cars),,without gaskets altogehter....
