And, here's the thing. I have an IS exhaust laying here off my parts car. I WAS going to use the muffler on my car, since it wasn't all rusted. But, here's my problem.
The other night, I turned the car on after dancing in a cafe for a few hours, and BOOM, the car was all of a sudden UNBEARBLY loud. I mean, like, running off headers loud. I THOUGHT the problem was how loose the pipe was right at the bottom of the downpipes. But, I got some Muffler Bandage stuff (does that work well???) And this morning, it's still making just as much noise as it was yesterday.
Here's my question. I know if I were to buy like 4 more bandage things, and wrap up all the spots that look like that'll be it wouldn't be too hard. But, I'm still worried that won't fix it.
So, I'm thinking of swapping in the IS exhaust, from the headers down. BUT, I have noticed right off the batt that the O2 sensor is in a different place. How hard is it to migrate that over to the downpipes?
And, does it have a different connector than the 88+ 02 sensor?
Also - does anyone has any idea WHERE the noise would be coming from. The odd thing is that the bracket right down on the middle (metal piece that you would screw thru) to hold the exhaust up there, has broken, and gone into the exhaust. My question is, is that a big reason? Cause the bracket doesn't go in any further, is like the exhaust has an inner exhaust or somehting.
Other than that though, I have no clue where the noise is coming from. I wrapped a towel around a cold exhaust and started the car, ran for maybe a minute. Does that work for maybe muffling the noise to help pinpoint the reason for the noise?
Sorry, so many questions, but I got a busy day when I get home from work today. wooo.
