my girlfriend says she gets a headache after we drive the teener. i haven't noticed it before, but yesterday i felt a bit 'ill' after an hour drive -- even with the top off. the heater blower fan has always stayed off. (welcome to cali)
about 6 months ago i put some used late-model HE's on the car. they appeared very sound, with no apparent leaks on the inner exhaust tubes. i don't think i have an exhaust leak, but i'll be sure to double check everything. what are other sources of carbon monoxide? would a torn up heating air hose let in gas from the engine compartment? even with no blowers on? any thoughts appreciatted. thanks, nathan p.s. yeah, i know the late HE's suck. saving for header. |

I sure hope they are not the HE's....since I sold my old ones to Nathan. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I don't recall ever having exhaust fume problems with them.
They were in pretty good shape, pretty clean inside and out. At the tail end of the exchangers, where it crimps around the single tube, that part is loose. I always used a large hose clamp to keep it in place. JB weld might have been a better solution. One thing you could do to test, is disconnect all the tubing to the cabin and see if the fumes go away..that should help narrow it down. (I didn't need these HEs anymore since I backdated my system.) Here's a photo of the ends.... Attached image(s) ![]() |
