Blowing Manifold?


Recommended Posts

Over the last few months i've noticed my PEA getting a lot louder, Yesterday a friend of mine took it for a spin and hearing it outside the car i realized

i've either had ninja's install a induction kit during the midnight hours or something was blowing.

The sound seems to be coming straight from underneath the manifold shield, this weekend i hope to take off the shield and have a better look.

Also another point a friend made is i've had a few bad bangs underneath the manifold area so it could be a bit of rust which has had a bump.

Where can i find a 4-2-1 manifold now days? :rolleyes:

Could i end up burning out my CAT with this?

Any help appreciated.

Yeh could be your flexi. My car is similiar problem i thought it was my manifold but then cheched it out and was very happy to find out that it wasnt as its fairly costly to get new manifold put on.

Im getting the same done it cut out and a new welded back on, does yours seem to be a lot better now as people have said that it may not sort the problem?

Sh*t, I've just had the local garage have a quick perv underneath and i've been told

that there is a crack in two places on either side of the CAT.... :(

Done by myself it seems by hitting something/

Cheers matey and thank you andyp for the pm!

I found a cat and downpipe for 170 quid, i fitted it myself but i've recently found a new problem :rolleyes:

The car needs a tap of the gas pedal everytime it's started up... Otherwise it just dies straight away.

Also when idling the car starts to viberate a lot, all new problems i've never encountered before..

sh*t.. :|

have a look !! if its only that you only need to re join the wire ??.

was the problem there before or only since??

if since it can only be a few things.

if the wire is broken you can solder it back together,the wire does get brittle with the heat and can break very easily,

good luck

regards kevin
