On a slightly different subject. Anyone have good pictures of any exhaust system out of the xa from the header down so I can see what angles are in it and how many?

Thanks

Here is the micro-fiche for the xA exhaust, might give you an idea.

I replaced the manifold gasket and re-used the donut. No leaks and it sounds great.

I did the DC Sport header this morning in about an hour, had no problem getting any bolt loose or back in. I was shocked at how easy it was. My car is only a month old though. Drove it around for a few minutes and I love the sound and it does feel more responsive. In a few days I guess I will know if it was worth it. Oh yeah I used the old gasket, no leaks so far.

DC Header/New Manifold Gasket/ Old Donut = No Leaks, that's my set up.

I would replace the gasket no matter what, like previosly mentioned they're only like 20 bucks.

NeverLand You had to have had a donut gasket!! Now if you don't know that there is one you might have overlooked it. just get a new one from the dealer and bingo no more exhaust leak!



Peace!!

I have the EL Prototype's. I love mine, super easy to install 45mins. I have had mine for about a year. I think a wise investment. I was very unsure at first and now am sold.

stock clutch should be fine with the amount of power gained from an intake, header and exhaust. It really isn't much more in comparison to the overall power before the mods so I cannot see it even coming close to straining the stock clutch.

picked up a new doughnut gasket and all is good. Sounds like stock until you hit WOT, then it sounds pretty nice.
