Exzorts manifold gasket!!

Post by k5turbo » Thu Nov 12, 2009 4:10 pm

I think my manifold gasket has a leak its making a funny noise like there is air escaping sumwhere whilst on tick over, when the car warms up it seams to get better but i can still hear it!! if it is my manifold gasket how much of a job is it to do?
thanks sam

Yeah, engine out to have it done. I am in a same boat, one of my manifolds is prob on the way out, seems like the air is escaping and it makes some other weird noises.

And here is my question - what can I gain getting some better flow sport manifolds? Like from MRC, Autospeed etc. Is it worth getting such expensive ones fitted? Will it give nice power increase? Because if I get like 5 hp more then I guess I will just get one OEM manifold to replace the broken piece and call it a day.

What do you guys think?

My car is only after remap, with manifold job I will prob get cats out and precats gutted.
