Exhuast leak... where is it?

I have an exhuast leak somewhere.... I think its either the manifold-block, or manifold-racepipe. I have new exhuast from the manifold back, so i dont know if that one next to the racepipe would be leaking. What do you guys think. I cant see anything so is it commen to go through the manifold gasket? any ideas? I already got there and tightened the bolts and it didnt help

It's possible that the manifold is cracked. It's known to happen. Good reason to buy headers

Only you can tell we are all kind of far from your house bro.

Try reving the engine from the engine bay and looking for trces of smoke and the accompaning noise(s). Other than that try tightening all the bolts.

its definitely a pain in the ***... but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do

Maybe it's the split air pipe... could be quite a few things.

I'm trying to conquer that one myself, I had a plug blown in or around my manifold and my secondary cat was clogged. I've got a bonez superflo replacement and a RB catback waiting in my living room, but I'm looking around for causes to my cats clogging.

Faulty airpump or acv. Or your car running extremely rich/burning oil. Guaranteed.
