Minor exhaust leak on XS power headers? Here's your fix!!
Any of you guys who are experiancing a slight wooshing sound on your XS headers at half throttle or even a ticking noise at idle!
I was having these problems ever since I got these headers and I did some searching and realised that no one really posted a fix. Thanks to another member on here who gave me a little advice on what to do.
Replace those 8mm shitty bolts that come w/ the headers and go to the auto parts store or hardware store and pick up 6 10mm, 1.50 x 40mm bolts, 6 m10 hext nuts, 12 10mm washers to go on each side, and 6 lock washers to make it a lil easier on you when your tightening!
What I believe was happening was that there was air escaping from in and around the prior 8 mm bolts which was making that whooshing noise at half throtle.
I want to set aside that this will not fix resonance, faulty gaskets and bad welds just a quick fix for simple leak
