Exhaust leak at Cat? Can't seem to fix it
Hey all, been awhile.
My R53 has been sitting for awhile as it's needed a new manifold and I haven't had the funds until recently.
I picked up a Racing Dynamics header + cat, got it installed and am still getting that loud pinging from under the vehicle, very similar to when the original cat ball disconnected from the manifold.
I did notice when I was putting the cat on there was a bigger gap than normal between it and my Invidia exhaust. Do I need some kind of spacer or are the gaskets that came with it not good quality? Could I have not tightened the o2 sensors tight enough?
Any help greatly appreciated!
