Oem front pipe flange rust
I noticed there was a leak on my front pipe. Already tried new gaskets, i was already thinking about replacing the oem front pipe since i am now boosted with Works turbo stage 2. Was going to get a 2.5 FP to get the exhaust to flow a bit better. But its now a sped up timeline.
Is JDL ultra quiet worth the price? I was going to get a HKS dual resonated front pipe but its only a 60mm(2.3in) pipe diameter. 2.5 quiet front pipe. Any ideas? |

That car is way too clean, need to go drive in the mud.
That is surface rust and is normal. Put some exhaust gasket compound on the hard gasket, Follow instructions on finger tighten then wait whatever hours then torque. |

Haha yea iono about driving in the mud. Car is lowered. I have never used exhaust rtv/compound. My main concern the leaking since i know my turbo application is gonna run a little rich. Ill pick some up and report back with results. |

No dice.
Put some rtv copper compound. Seems like it leaks more. I dont know either its the gasket or the flange. I already have replace the gasket once. Im thinking i should just get a 2.5 front pipe to match my downpipe. |

Why not bring it somewhere that has a belt sander and ask them to flatten the flange? I'd hardly call that rust (not to belittle the issue you're facing) so unless you're itching for a reason to upgrade, I wouldn't bother

Literally just bought the ultra quiet front pipe to see if it's better than the straight 3" frontpipe I had made before on my turbo setup. Seems like it'll be perfect

The only time water can sit on an exhaust pipe is before the engine has warmed up.
I do not see an indication of the normal black gas escaping from the pipe. Do you hear the lisp of escaping gas when you are warmed up? |
