SoobyDoobyDoo Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Do our cars have common exhaust leaks? Besides the donut? Cars completely stock but seems to have a bit of an exhaust leak that goes away when warm. Can hear it more on the drivers side. Turbo was replaced 10k miles ago builds boost just fine but a little loud (can hear with windows down but not with them up)for a few minutes then seems to go away. Any thoughts? Been thinking about replacing the header gaskets as well as cross over pipe gaskets and see what that does... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VdubaRoo Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Check the flange where the manifold is attached to the block. They can crack right in the middle of the flange. If you're lucky maybe only the gasket because the exhaust manifold heat slightly warped it from the intense heating and cooling. That's the only spot that would change starting the car stone cold to op temp. Sent from my SM-G986U1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
