I have just installed the Ripmax exhaust onto my Rush Evo.
I have set the engine back to base settings and then I start it, it just revs up until I remove the fuel line.
Can this be caused by a leak either in the header to engine joint, or even on the header to exhaust joint.
I have just noticed that the old gasket is still attached to the engine, I have now removed it, it is a little late to be testing the new pipe so i will have to wait until tomorrow.
I presume that two gaskets is a big no no and probably the route of the air leak

Just posting I have found the problem to why it appears to rev very high.
I am an idiot who after re-installing the engine forgot to re-attach the throttle servo and the car was as WOT
I feel a little sheepish and ashamed of that one.
Hopefully with only two short high rev runs the engine will be ok. It was only for a few seconds each time
