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. |

the inlet to the muffler is completely dif on the early he's compared to the 75 and later style. to eliminate the 180 bend you would have to turn the stubs backwards and the stub outlet would be too high to mate up to the muffler without some creative bending/welding. if your muffer has the single round inlets as opposed to to the 2 pipe per side style you are screwed if you want to swap and use your muffler. i'm doing the swap on the 75' at this time.
