you might want to stay on the road. Sounds great wish my car could do that, maybe later.
glad you got the problems fixed.

I ordered a 45* elbow, but needed a 90*. Until I can scrape up more funds, this will have to do.

Off-road H-pipe (generic brand stainless) - BBK ceramic coated shorties.
Here's what it sounded like with stock manifolds, same off road H-pipe and the stock engine. http://www.100mphclub.com/movies/gcom_auto-x3.mov

Thanks... tails are now gone. It sounds a little meatier now, but not a big change. I had to baby it back to work though. Pouring down at the moment. Bald tires, big engine, and rain don't mix well.

That's not good. Have you pulled the heads back off the engine yet? Mine was leaking in the middle. Not sure what that stuff is they space the metal gaskets with, but it failed miserably on both of mine. So far the replacements are holding, but my builder coated the hell out of them. Feel free to point Cometic to this thread. I'll talk to them to back you up. Hell, even have a video of the leak. Watch the end of this: http://www.100mphclub.com/movies/331_idle.mov
Good Luck and keep us all updated. Who knows if mine will start leaking again.
yea they said it was a problem they expereanced alot.... they told me to use that copper spray "next" time.. and i was kinda pissed because they shoulda sealed the "first" time...
i think im just gonna go with a graphite headgasket this time around caues i dont want to rely on copper spray when 15lbs of boost hits

How thick of a gasket do you have to use? We had a hard time finding another brand thick enough.
http://www.100mphclub.com/dcr/ <---- my builder, Doug is a pretty good guy. Just really, busy. I'm sure he will be happy to talk to you about it. They have a Fox in the shop right now stroked with a Turbo. Has the exact same gaskets as mine. So they are a little worried. So far it's holding.
