Default i HATE 951 stock exhaust

for the past month or two my car had a tick when warm. i figured it was an exhaust leak but i swapped out lifters and injectors to hope it was one of the two. nope... cracked crossover pipe debating on rather to put in a different crossover pipe or to pull the engine. its getting pretty cold here in colorado and my car doesnt have a heater so im leaning towards pulling the engine to build it up for my pikes peak build.

yeah i agree. i already have it off, only took me about an hour.

pulling the engine

about 2 hours

coolant hoses
wiring harness
engine mounts
bell housing bolts on tt

replace crossover

about 1 hour

bolt up a spare crossover i have

if i put in another crossover pipe, im just going to be doing repeat labor when it comes to pulling the engine in a month. like you said the crossover isnt to bad.

i have an audi that i bought for 400 and did a clutch on it. drove it for a few weeks and parked it. i let my brother drive it when his car was down and he was drinking and driving and hit a curb. it needs a tie rod and 1 rim is bent... seat heaters, heater and a radio sounds real nice right about now lol.

ill wait to see what the poll ends up being

Make your bro fix the Audi. I'd say do the crossover if it just takes an hour.
