Been a few weeks now that Ive done all this work, and I just drive it to work and back and never really paid much attention, But I put it up on the rack at work doing a LOF, and driving out of the shop one of the guys at work mentioned to me I had an exhaust leak...I got down on ground and listened...Yep, I hear it....Now i have to search and find it. Somewhere in the DP....GRRRRR....

 

nothing that cant be fixed by a great invention called a welder !!!

 

LOL its a new DP man...its all pieced together...I dont need to weld anything, just find where the leak is and tighten it...just hope i dont have to pull subframe down again or remove top intercooler pipe....Ill be pissed..

 

If I remember correctly you run a 42dd. Check the connection at the section between the flex and the curved pipe that connects to the turbo. I blew two gaskets there when it came loose on me in the past. I replaced the hardware while I was at it and haven't had a problem since.
The section can be reached by removing the strut bar and o2 sensor. Then you can reach it easily with hand tools. No need to remove the upper ic pipe. The hardware sent with the lit just wasn't staying tight.

 

You probably didnt tighten a bolt all the way and blew a gasket already, nothing major. Just remove and clean the area and reinstall, nothing to hard

 

ya thats where it sounds like it is coming from! it doesnt sound like the bottom section at the testpipe...it sounds further up....

 

gaskets came with kit tho...do i have to create a new gasket? hmm cant imagine it blowing a gasket...but I guess ill find out hehe

 

dont u mean kit came with gaskets......lol

 

If the pipe came loose you will easily blow a gasket. $5 at the local parts store for a 3" collector gasket pack of 2.

 

and you said you blew two gaskets there and replaced hardware also...maybe i misread but you only replaced with one gasket and just new bolt and nut right?
