obalanga 0 Posted July 6, 2015 is there any salvation for an exhaust that is leaking at the manifold? Could it be as easy as a gasket? Can it cause the occasional misfire? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fr499y 0 Posted July 7, 2015 Misfire no, excess popping possibly as it will be sucking in air. If its simply blowing where it bolts in then could be a gasket, if they are steel headers and bikes used all year round, could well be a pin hole in the header.

obalanga 0 Posted July 7, 2015 thanks. I thought I could hear a sucking sound under all the engine noise. I suppose fuel consumption will edge up as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fr499y 0 Posted July 7, 2015 Not sure about that, depends on how much its blowing and where from, you might loose a bit of poke! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
