CDN 2.5i Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 They're not touching now - not much of a gap but 5mm anyhow. Don't hear the rattle/resonance anymore. I have heard a tap if I let the engine shudder a bit - say when you don't feather the clutch enough at a very low rpm in reverse... So, I'll drive it for a bit and see how it goes - apparently some tension will heat out of the headers after a few more cycles and they may move a bit I guess. I've got two kartboy exhaust hangers that I will be using at the rear on the mufflers too. That may tighten up the system a bit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN 2.5i Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 ^^ In that case.... you may want to put some heat wrap on both the pipe and line I may have heated the steering fluid up quite a bit already - wonder if it's really a concern. They run relatively close to each other normally anyway so I expect it shouldn't be too bad. Constant heating via a direct connection would be another thing tho'.

CDN 2.5i Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 For reference, here are couple of vids of the exhaust, before and after the header install. Car is a 2005 Legacy 2.5i wagon with 5MT.
