20202, pacesetter header noise?
Posted by mits2gnt, Apr-13-02 04:07 PM
i recently installed the pacesetter header,it did add more torque in the top of 2nd,3rd and so forth,but my question is,does a header make a different noise? almost like it leaks,i have been searching everywhere for leaks,and cant find one leak,i was just wondering if its supposed to make a noise when idleing or accelerating thank you very much

Mine does not make any noise. Did you buy a new gasket, or use the old one, that may be your problem. I bought mine from schucks for $4.99 + tax.

i think i found the problem,the header and the downpipe are not lined up together,i can see the gasket a little bit,i hope this helps,it very annoying,i should have just left the factory manifold on..stupid me..

since you said its a 2 piece its prob the gasket there.. is it paper or metal.. put a metal on there.. i had a crappy paper one and it was gone in 2 days.. with major leak.. it sounded cool at first but got annoying so i had a exhaust shop help me put a new one on.. its hard to put them 2 pieces together by urself haah

you will notice a lot of TQ with the leak.. so when its all tight u may miss some of it.
