Okay earlier today while driving my car back from GB (all I did was install swaybar), it started making this terrible noise from the exhaust since I think my Borla cat back sprung a leak. So I went home and swapped back on the stock exhaust but now it makes this high-pitched sputtering noise from the muffler and theres alot of vibration from under my feet while accelerating. I think I need to replace the donut gasket and I definetley need some new bolts w/ springs for attaching the mid-pipe to the cat, where should I pick those parts up at??

 

I know I could get them at the dealer but, anywhere else possibly?

 

Bump... anyone think Vic Hubbard or NAPA would supply these parts?, I need to get this taken care of tomorrow since I have to be driving to school all next week.

 

Dealership pretty much it

double check for clearance on that sway bar

Checked for clearance, it's obviously not an issue... I'll try to make it to the dealer tomorrow

 

Another question, what should I use to get the old donut gasket off my cat, looks like its stuck on there pretty good... pry with a screwdriver? I dunno.

 

Ugh dam.. now my car is throwing a CEL after filling up for going over to Carlsen, is this normal for an exhaust leak?

 

yeah

yep

 

Heh.. thanks for the words of wisdom Gagan. I'm going over to Carlsen first thing tomorrow to have them take a look and pick up some parts. It's surprising though, I can't feel anything leaking from where the midpipe meets the cat but when accelerating its like my whole exhaust system is shaking way more than I expected it would from just a leak. Even at idle the car is vibrating alot.

 

yah you just use a flathead screwdriver to take that thing off... i took mine off and its sealed within some box in my garage, but don't know if its still good.. i needed a bigger one to fit my new cat but oh well..

my car was shaking a lot when there was a leak..

i remember brucelee showing me a place long long long time ago when i got my new midpipe on fremont.. i think near jack in the box.. to get new springs and some bolts to connect the cat/midpipe.. i need some new ones myself now...
