I just got my BCRH in the mail today and was looking to install it. I remember reading somewhere that I needed some gaskets or something like that. Can anyone tell me what else I need for the install?
UPDATE: Installed and the header is hitting my subframe...
I just got my BCRH in the mail today and was looking to install it. I remember reading somewhere that I needed some gaskets or something like that. Can anyone tell me what else I need for the install?
I had a shop install mine for me. They used the existing gaskets because the car is so new. The gasket on the head is metal, but not sure about the other one where it connects to the cat-back. Also, you should buy the angled defouler so you "hopefully" won't throw a CEL. Unfortunately, I continue to throw a CEL every 30 miles. Other than that, it is a great header!!
well i just insalled the other day and it's likea whole new car. For some reason though if I get on it really hard in 1st or second the header seems to be banging on something. Can anyone help on this?
no... I got some pics today of underneath and I'm pretty pissed. The header is hitting the underside of the car. The header goes 4-2-1, its hitting on the 2 portion. Only on the one pipe though. It seems as if the pipe is lower than the other causing it 2 do this. It has even put a dent in the tube. I think the header is bad.
I dont know how to post the pics up though so if someone could that would be good.
hmmmm something cant be right then do you think it could be just a bad one. It slams really bad on shifts from 1-2, 2-3. So hard that it has put a dent in the piping, I know thats not right...
You can see where it's hitting the subframe. If you're under the car looking up at the back of the motor then it's the pipe on the right when it goes down from 4-2 is where it's close to the subframe.
Sorry about that I had to go out for awhile. Let me get a pic of the lower section you're talking about. I have no issues at all with the BCRH on my FA5 hitting anything.
Yeah I did & I don't know what that is that is really close to your BCRH on that section. Let me go in the garage & see if I can snap a pic of the area you're talking about on my car.
Anybody with an FG2 with a BCRH help out here?
