it's a full yosh system for my gsxr. iti hooked up ok and i put in new gaskets for the exhaust i tightened everything up (bolts) and mounted the springs on the header too, everything appeared to be tight, but when i started her up there are leaks on the entry points of the header, as in the very first part of the header that combines with the engine block is leaking (no holes on header) just not hooked up right i guess.. do i need to "smash" or bang on the header onto the new seals or what.. it makes a popping sound when running like an opened up 4 cylinder.

and no. i am not riding it like this just ran it for about 1 minute.

thanks guys

check y0 gaskets.

or just use some high temp silicone

9/17/2005 9:40:10 PM

the gaskets are brand new. i guess ill just go out tom. and get some silicone to seal up around the header? would that work, where could i get that home depot? do you recommend any brands?

thanks

9/17/2005 10:26:11 PM

i gets mine from autozone. you want HIGH TEMP silicone. usually its in a red tube.

but check the degrees on them to make sure

9/17/2005 11:31:32 PM

dont use the red, use the copper

9/18/2005 8:26:29 AM

center the header on the ports as best you can, then tighten the bolts tight enough to crush the exhaust gasket o-ring things.

9/18/2005 8:52:07 AM

yeah the guy is just stopping by today, im pretty sure it just didnt shove the header on hard enough, but i dont want to risk messing things up. other than that it was still a rewarding experience doing it myself . i even had to drill out one of the bolts on the fairing bc one of the previous shops that worked on the bike stripped the screw dammit. that was fun though

9/18/2005 12:37:38 PM

by the way.. would anyone be interested in my old exhaust for my gsxr 600, i just need to get rid of it, im going to keep it for one week. just in case the new exhaust fux up or something.. then im going to get rid of it it has all the mountin bolts and a good muffler with the stock exhaust mani.

thanks haha if no one takes it it can go to a dumpster.. or ebay where i can clame it's a civic header

9/18/2005 12:48:41 PM

I am interested if you are giving it away.

9/18/2005 1:37:06 PM

^^jwing what you would use it for, i mean i dont care but at the same time i would like to hear about it. lol.

9/19/2005 2:28:38 AM

what would it sound like mounted to my MR2

9/19/2005 2:38:09 AM

I might need the pieces that mate to the cylinder head for a custom exhaust.

9/19/2005 1:17:38 PM

i dunno u guys are free to see what it would sound like if u could rig it up to fit lol.

9/19/2005 2:25:29 PM

copper RTV from autozone on western. it should be like $4.99 a tube. also, if you can get some crush washers and longer bolts and put the crush washers on top of the manifold flange, you can just tighten until the washers are flat. they're good to use as a gauge I've found

9/19/2005 2:52:58 PM

I can't imagine an MR-2 trying to breathe out of a muffler meant for (600 or 750) cc's of displacement. I have seen an old Mini with a motorcycle muffler. The way it sounded, it may have had more than just a muffler from a motorcycle. Any update on the Yoshi exhaust?

9/19/2005 4:49:42 PM

i usually put the header up there, take a small pick and see which gaskets are the loosest, then evenly tighten both bolts on that one first, working my way out from there, if you get it in a bind before it pulls in, it wont be a tight seal. also, drilling out the mounting holes slightly will help

9/19/2005 7:29:15 PM

the gsxr 600 manifold is the same size as the header on my celica. the size of the pipes. just wider apart. so yes it can breath. remember these bitches go up to 14k and have lots of exhaust to get rid of. the yosh header on my bike now is bigger than my celicas header pipe size.

9/19/2005 11:59:48 PM

hey i will take your canister if i can squeeze it on my bike. i dont have much use for the headers though.

9/20/2005 12:38:30 AM

since i owe you a couple of favors no problem u might want to reverse the canister, since one side of the can is scraped up from where i dropped it that one time we were out lol. poe can still have the header or whatever.

9/20/2005 12:48:23 AM

and you know how much i care about the scratches and all

9/20/2005 8:44:02 AM

lol

9/20/2005 9:46:45 AM

^^ lol

crazy igor

9/20/2005 12:27:26 PM

this is the truth. im excited to see how it would look on therrrr.

9/20/2005 12:40:17 PM

i wonder how it would sound

9/20/2005 1:03:14 PM

ok i put the exhaust in my car, and my car is on campus parked in DE.. get in contact with me to pick pickup the shit.. u will need to get like 3 nuts for the exhaust.. lost those somewhere pretty generic nuts though.

9/21/2005 7:22:42 PM

i get out of class around 6 and i'll call your cell

9/21/2005 8:03:24 PM

oh yeah, bought full exhaust, two bro's carbon fiber exhaust + headers. and got me some frame sliders now
