yo i got a low exhaust.. it quite low like my IQ. anyway, is it better to go straight or on an angle???? i know for a fact if the cars lowered in order to not scrape the front

bumper bar you gotta go on an angle.. but in my case its an exhaust? you reckon straight or on an angle.

i seem to scrape on an angle =\

well it really depends........

first of all that the....Rakeish angle of the muffler you see from the rear...is in fact not designed for anti-scraping purpose but it helps guides exhaust gases in relevance to aerodynamics & air flow etc according to HKS.

it really doesnt matter if it is on an angle or not.......... All genuine aftermarket manufactures have thier exhausts pre-fabricated to suit... and obviously that angle is set to suit the model of car.

where as custom made exhaust from exhaust shops... you can get them to make any angle you want. as long as they can tack-it with the welder.....

alot of the times the last flange will scrape on a large bore exhaust on a lowered car.... theres really nothing you can do about it.

in my opinion ..the angle looks alot better than straight......

but it may not improve anything with a scraping.... all lowered cars are bound to scrape.....

yeah the weird thing is i scrape on an angle @ the same entrance @ maccas. but then i went straight into it and didnt scrape lol :S weird

if your talking about the "ANGLE" of the positioning of a car when moving onto a driveway or over a speed hump........ ( :banana: )

umm its a tough question dude...

it depends on how your car is set up...

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
