HI ALL

I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY TURBO MANIFOLD IT KEEPS LEAKING AND BLOWING GASKETS.

I JUST HAD A NEW GASKET PUT IN AND A DIFFERENT 2ND HAND MANIFOLD. AND NOW I HAVE LEAKAGE AGAIN....:(

ANYONE HAVE EXTRACTORS ON THEIR EXA AND HOW MUCH DID U PAY FOR THEM

ALSO ANY ONE HAVE ANY IDEAS ABOUT MY TURBO MANIFOLD

MAYBE IF I GET EXTRACTORS THE THREAD ON THE BOLTS MIGHT BE BETTER AND NOT LOOSEN THEM SELVES.

HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP

THANKS

alternately, you could just take the manafold to an exhaust specialist, they can remove the studs, and put in new studs.
buy new nuts from an exhaust shop too, i was actually given brass (i think) nuts, apparently they are better with heat and are less prone to coming off.

custom exhaust is about $600, although this wont necessarily solve your problem.

extractors are just another name for a custom exhaust manafold.

Yeh I had the old gasket leaking problem too. Solved with a few spring washers or star washers between the manifold and the nut. Do em up tight and that should fix the problem!!!
