big header problem
Thursday, December 22, 2005 5:08 PM
ok i installed my header and it had like a bypass tube or something comming off the flange and into the primary closest to the driver. then when i started my car there is a hole in the front of the engine by the intake manifold that is now putting out exhaust gasses to and its not good what should i do


It wouldnt be any fun if it was easy.

you got a header for a egr car , and yours being a 01 doesnt have egr


what header did you get ?

if you got a pacesetter or dc sports , you can reuse your stock exhaust gakset and block the egr port on the exhaust side of the head

It shouldn't be coming out of the front at all if you reused your stock exhaust gasket.

I think the ones that come with those headers have a hold/provision for the egr.
Hence why you're getting the fumes.

Gotta use your factory gasket or get another from the auto shop.

or you could have just fabbed up a block off plate for the front like i did, works like a charm
