| well if any of you remember a while back, I was talking about how my engine bay always seem to be wayyyy overheated but my engine was running at normal temps on the gauge.. I just noticed earlier that it looked like where the downpipe comes up from the exhaust into the engine bay right where it connects with the 4 bolt flange, it looked like the two joints were coming apart which would let all that hot air from the manifolds out into my engine.. i'm going to check it out tomorrow and maybe just go pick up an exhaust clamp for it | |

| If there were even a tiny leak, you'd hear it. I don't think such a leak would contribute to engine temps, though. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30
