Crawford finishes my engine build. He starts my car (starts without a hitch btw after major surgery))) and first thing he says is ..."I hear an exhaust leak." I nearly faint, but then within a minute he finds that crack in my hks front pipe. Glad it wasn't anything else. Quirt was nice enough to weld it for me, but I don't want it on my car any longer. Motiv benefits I guess, they make a pretty one

That sucks about that HKS weld cracking, but FT86-Speedfactory is a great company and I'm sure they will take care of you

Sorry to hear about your exhaust woes. It does make me feel more confident in my plans for ft86 SpeedFactory header and cat back with motiv over and front pipes. I hope your new front pipe works out!

Time for the TRD door stabilizers? They show surprising gains in transient response, more noticeable in a higher output drivetrain like yours I imagine.
