So is anyone running tomei uel with ark grip exhaust? It's obnoxiously loud like a muscle car.. I think something is wrong with the header :/

You're helpless

Your helpful

You do realize that without a cat on the header, it will make the car louder...

Yea I know but I didn't know it would be muscle car loud with popping noises. I'll take it to a shop and let them look at it

It's not a manufacturing defect. That's the way it's supposed to sound.

You probably now have an exhaust leak

Thats what I'm assuming not a defect

do you have any other exhaust bits? did you re-use any gaskets?

i'm with that sexy stud of a @Sportsguy83 in thinking you have an exhaust leak somewhere.

<3 the big red wrench

Oh and a headerback system is generally stupidly loud

oh so gloriously loud :thumbup:

I'm in on the exhaust leak. Also - did you loosen EVERYTHING then tighten/torque EVERYTHING from front to rear?

Header > OP > FP > Catback?

Did you ensure a good seal from the gaskets? Start the car while underneath and listen for hisses/leaks?

Did you use anti-seize to be able to remove/adjust without stripping your bolts?

At this point, go to an exhaust shop. Cut your losses and pay someone who has some more experience in what you're doing. No offense.

Lolol I got it fixed. It was one bolt that I didn't screw in I over looked it. The sound is "glourious" lol and how I expected to be. Thanks for everyone who tried helping instead of "adding there 2 cents in" or making stupid comments :)
