scoobykilla Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Well i thot i would quickly through on my new exhaust mani last night after work, so set about removing everything and preping everything for putting back on. After a while i had the new mani on, gave the car a refill of oil and started it up..............putt putt putt putt.......Its blowing at the exhaust mani gasket (bottom right).I put a new gasket on when i fitted the new mani and cleaned all surfaces so it shouldn't b blowing.What should i do folks?I know the best thing to do would be take everything off again but its so time consuming.

Idrees Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Yeah they are rubbish, Oem ported ones are better IMO If you're using one of that bogus 'racing' gaskets supplied by Toyosports that won't help either Quote Link to post Share on other sites

akyakapotter Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Should be fine with oem but won't be long till the Toyo Mani cracks. mine cracked within a month so ported my oem Mani and was spot on till I took it off 1 year later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
