Then I'll re-torque again, and if the "leak" sound is still there, it's going to an exhaust shop tomorrow.
I really want to get this sorted out definitively so I can move on to the intakes this weekend, and then schedule a dyno for next week. |
LOL. I read that as "I picked up an extra bottle
of jack this morning . . ." I was like . . . how is getting lit up on Jack Daniels going to help??
Anyway, FYI my exhaust did the exact same thing you're describing, and I had to spend time making adjustments and tweaks as well. So, nothing out of the ordinary.
