Exhaust leak. Please Help!!
 
I just installed my Mac prochamber and it sounds like it is leaking at the headers. Can't seem to get it tight enough. Any suggestions? Would it be ok if I drove it up to the Mustang shop down the road to have them look at it? Don't want to mess anything up driving around with it leaking like that. Thanks a lot!!

It's not going to hurt it driving it up to the shop. Do you have everything lined up correctly so that you CAN tighten it down? You might take it apart and recheck everything before you go spending money to have someone else do it. Might try an impact wrench if nothing else.

No it wont hurt the car. I would put money its the passenger side connection at the manifold thats leaking. I had trouble keeping the bolts tight with my X-pipe and ended up having to use loctite on the nuts. Also make sure you used the gasket on that side. Now my only leak is a pin hole where I missed a spot when welding cats on x-pipe.

I got it now. It was the driver's side. I was thinking passenger side also, but it was ok. There is a spacer on the header bolt that was stopping me from tightening it all the way. It is on tight now. Sounds awesome!
