I'm not sure how handy you are at fabrication, but I built the TKX bell housing for my kia 2.0 in free cad(onshape) and had it laser cut locally. for the tools and everything I'm in it for around $600

so i got the muffler on sounds good out of the exhaust but i still get some slapping or clacking or whatever noise you want to call it coming from under the truck.



i think its coming through the cheap amazon y pipe i used, it seems to have some thin metal and i can hear the slapping exhaust through it, it sounds terrible and like a huge rattle.



i have some exhaust wrap left over from my last turbo kit, so i'm going to wrap the y pipe with it and hopefully dull the sound.



i have read a little bit on the interwebs about how this heat wrap deadens noise somewhat. we'll see. it sounds like shit when i hit a certain RPM and the slapping starts. also i just generally hear the exhaust more than i was expect even from thin walled headers.



its normal to hear more exhaust noise through headers, but this is a lot more.



annoying

I knew my lower control arm mounts were cracked and I had a double shear fix planned but i didn't realize how bad they were until I started fixing it. The drivers side fell apart when it took the bolt out. That's probably why it developed a little bit of a shimmy on the freeway cause its gone now.

Nice way to start new year!!!!

gasket matched the manifold to the head, rewired the injector and throttle sensor connector. Is on and back running. Idle is now so stable. Cant wait for some warmer dry weather to see if it picked up any power.

I had to buy 6 credits ughggg 2 for the pcm and 4 for the tcm. Annoying. But whatever

I changed the O2 response timing but I also disabled all the relevant O2 codes

I  didn't even notice until I was putting the driver's side inner fender on how close the steering shaft was, it clears the header runner by millimeters but it seems fine.

I also installed that header without disconnecting the shaft

My wife didn't realize how much goes into making long tubes work correctly on fuel injection lol

I have a Diablo sport tuner but I'm going to need to buy some hptuner credits and sell the Diablo tuner

Im getting the O2 codes about response time, I can change the timing or disable the codes I have the old mpvi device so hopefully I can still do that I know recently they changed it so you cannot disable emissions codes

The rear O2 are fine with the spark plug anti foulers so far

Also it has a tiny maybe 6-8" long straight through "Muffler" which basically doesn't do anything so I get the headers + no cats horrible smacking exhaust sound at part throttle which I know was going to happen.

I have a 3" in/out flow master super 40 I took off my turbo Dakota I'm going to put on

With the flow master it will sound really good

🔥🔥🔥

It's done sounds nasty very loud
