oh yea... one more dumb question from me... what size's are the manifold screws... because now I found out why its been leakin oil... lol in the factory the use power tools... and put it in way to tight and bent the right screw all to hell... other than that and fuell.. I'd have a clean runnin car...

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that these are the exhaust manifold screws.

They're the longest thing they have listed on the parts page.

Hey do you know if that exhaust system will work with the volcano STX? I looked at it and it seems that it would work, but Im wondering if the header will rub against the rt rear tire. Thanks for your help!

I have that one (Tsais E1018H) on my Volcano SV, and it works just fine, all you will have to do is re-bend the wire that holds the front of the pipe in place and you'll be good to go. I got mine on eBay for $57.40 with shipping.;)

Popper.. one more question... somethin I couldn't find in the book... what size are the engine mount screws... theres supposeed to be 4 of them .lol but yet I only have 2... maybe thats why my spurs have been grindin so much... but thats just a quick question...

RE: Looking to get header and tuned pipe
 
case, if I remember right, they are 2.5 x 8...I just took the ones I had down to LHS and got some du-bro button head capscrews...if they didn't have them, I went to local ACE...

Cas_NitroGT 09-06-2006 11:19 AM

RE: Looking to get header and tuned pipe
 
yea theres like an Ace a mile away from here... so and the battery is dead on the civic. lol so I gotta ride my bike... and havn't road that thing in years... I just didn't know from the book if it was the 3*10 cap screws or the 3*8 cap screws... so I'm guessing the 3*8 ?

jguitarsandcars 09-06-2006 12:33 PM

RE: Looking to get header and tuned pipe
 
might be...but I was pretty sure that they were the 2.5's...but wouldn't be the first time I was wrong...but the small ones on the pull start are 2's and the ones that hold that backing plate are 2.5's...thought the one's that hold the engine to the blocks were 3's and the ones from underneath were 2.5....

Popper252 09-06-2006 03:18 PM

RE: Looking to get header and tuned pipe
 
I thought they were 3*10? Just buy 4 of each and return whatever you don't use.

Cas_NitroGT 09-06-2006 05:26 PM

RE: Looking to get header and tuned pipe
 
the engine mount screws were 3*8... haha so I guess i bought the right ones... got a new gasket and manifold screws... now all I need if for my tranny to get here and go get some fuel... and I'm off to race :) beat those kids down the street all because their cars were 100 dollors more than mine... but it depends on the racer and fuel... they use 10% LMAO

RE: Looking to get header and tuned pipe
 
OK...I had gotten mixed up...I had bought as many of the different sizes in allen screws as I could find locally 'cause I like them better than phillips...

RE: Looking to get header and tuned pipe
 
You can use 3* 10. The engine mount holes are deep enough. Just take it easy on the blue locktite.
