My first drive around the block set off a car alarm...the same car I've drven by before with my subs blasting....so unless he recently made his alarm that sensitive...My [censored] is loud. I have a similar set up on my car. Only difference is taht I do not have headers, but I have gutted stock manifolds. Born again on 04/09/06 FOR SALE: Moonroof glass and motor MB sunshade PM ME!

Luckily I have a clutch pedal and its driveable. I think its slips a little though but not sure since it dont know what a slipping clutch feels like. I'm dreading pulling the engine and tranny out just to replace it. I also had a leak on the timing cover dripping down from the PS pump. I went through almost two fill ups of the ps reservoir, then all of a sudden it stopped leaking one day after I started driving it. My exhaust is really [censored] loud too. I have WR, Test pipe, 2.5 inch trubends dual exit w/ borla. Too loud to get on it since cops can here me from across the [censored] city. Anyone here having issues with wheel bearings? I need to replace the two new ones I put in with two more new ones. Glad to hear its running.

It was a real shock to hear the exhaust after I have the three res. on there. Its still not quite and I get plenty of attention. I do hear a leak now though and thought it was the flex pipe but it is not the problem. Hopefully its something easy to fix. I thought I had the EGR tq'ed as much as I could. I will trouble shoot this weekend. It seems this summer alot of 3L projects were done. 3L process done

One had a slightly different size of splins on the end and I tried to force it on, thinking it was the right size. I eventually removed it, returned it, and bought another from savage. It slid right on by I had already damaged the bearings.
