aferrari88 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 So I installed my Invidia downpipe to my stock catback. I used the stock bolts to mate the DP to the CBE and I bought and included a new gasket in the install. I was warned that it might leak if not mated correctly and as it turns out, when I turned on the car it clearly was leaking. IT SOUNDS AMAZING. I haven't heard the boxer rumble like this in so long (about 2 years ago I went stage 2 on my WRX). It makes me wonder why should I even bother buying a full exhaust for 600 bucks! Question is, is this bad for my car? Whats the worst case scenario? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnguyenbb6 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 IMO a small exhaust leak(post down pipe) is no big deal. I've had a a small exhaust leak for awhile either post DP or Y pipe or both lol. Worst case: CA emissions inspectors seek you out and torch your car. Very very slim possibility of this though.

MDKSDMF Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 did you use the stock spring bolts or the supplied bolts and nuts cause that might be causing the leak. and is it leaking at the turbo possibly? id say its bad because your sensors arent getting the right information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moncur_6 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 IMO if something is wrong...it should be fixed. If you like the sound, do hogzaust (or...don't ) I am not a hogzaust fan myself, some people totally love it. The sound of aftermarket v. hogzaust is unbeatable (at least compared to my setup which I LOVE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moncur_6 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 unbeatable meaning...high flow mufflers vs. exhaust leak always wins in case somebody wanted to get smart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
