ok so after i just got done rebuilding my supercharger snout because the front bearing decided that it didn't want to stay together anymore and because i put all of my focus on that noise and wanting to fix that, that i did not notice that i had a exhaust leak. so in the same day i fixed my snout and found a cracked manifold, so i only drove the x to work and back for a few days and i was looking into getting DT long-tubes and what is needed with them but having no money right now i just ordered a replacement from rockauto.com. i was lucky enough that my gram just got a new car and she still had her old one and she let me have it for a while (99 chevy metro) that i was able to let the x sit till i got my part which was only 2 days with shipping. so yesterday 5/4/14 i had to work a 12 and then come home a get started on it, it took about 3 hours to get the old one out and the new one in. it wasn't as bad as it looks and the only break i took was to go get a e-torx socket for the studs (E-10)
