so i keep having this problemblowing outthe gasket where the downpipe bolts up to the o2 housing.
all 3 of my cars did this constantly, and this new talon does it too. whats up with that?

 

thats weird. I have never heard of a constant problem like that. Have you tried using lock-tight on it. Im guessing youve already tried a better metal gasket. Maybe even try some RTV sealant. And just torque the hell out of the bolt. Make sur to use anti seize though. In case you need to get them off later

 

do you have stock cat back?

 

3" from turbo back to a 4" fart can, no cat
i dunno it gets annoying.

 

thats really weird. Maybe youre buying ****ty gaskets? maybe the bolts/nuts are ****ty and come a little tiny bit loose? idk what to tell ya

sorry

 

i doubled the gaskets this time, its lasted for a week so far.
i wouldnt mess with it much but it makes it soundlike complete ****, i hate exhaust leaks with a passion.
i crank the bolts tight as hell,
with the setup i have i still get a rich stumble when the BOV opens, and when racing or runnin the**** out of it, it'll load up when i let off to shift then it backfires when i get back on the throttle, so thats probly not helping that gasket much[&:] the more thegasket leaks the worse it gets too.
ive had people tell me a flame at least a foot long comes out when it backfires

 

the last time i shot flames is when i fried an exhaust valve

 

lol

 

i just had both my bolts on my downpipe I guess just fall off...lol..it sounded bad

 

You can try loctite on the bolts too. It is odd that you keep blowing the gasket, then again, you do run the crap out of you cars, lol.

No cat = flames out the tail end
It's at that point, non-restrictive piping.
