47989, oil leak coming from oilpan, big problem? also whats a good cat -back
Posted by maroon_98_rs, Apr-01-03 03:12 PM
I got my oil changed yesterday and i found that there was a oil leak
coming from the oil pan. is this a big problem? i think the gasket I just blown if so can I change it myself? also I've been looking for a new exhaust system lately and i was just wondering whether I should go with the apex N1 or the greddy evo. I plan on turboing my car so should I go with 3inch or less? I herd the evo has a ricey sound is this true? and does the N1 scrape the ground if I lower my car two inches? also could some one post a soung clips of both cat-backs on a 2g m/t eclipse?


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

are you sure it's not just that the filter wasn't tightened enough? either way, the gasket isn't that hard to change, just a little annoying to get to. if you have small hands you can do it w/o removing the dp and centermember, otherwise you have to.

about the exhaust, i think everyone would agree that the evo sounds real nice on our cars, definitely not ricey. if you're going turbo soon then get a 3". personally i just bought the new one that extremepsi.com put out. it's definitely the best for the buck. i just recieved it today, and it look real nice. 3" SS, ceramic coated cat-back. 425 shipped
