You don't set your blower to defrost/foot well do you? That runs the AC without turning on the AC light...

Well, I drove this morning and seems to be getting back to normal. I am getting the trans fluid changed, and a fresh alignement. Also, cleaning the MAF as well today. So hopefully all will be good. Thanks @dath1974 I will actually check that too

Just had the exhaust checked at the dealer. Exhaust leak where the dp meets the exhaust. Anyone know if the oem gasket should work? I picked one up at the dealer

I am heading to unbolt the exhaust and see if an oem gasket will fit. Ill update yall a little later today, but this should help some with the way the drivability has been lately

I believe the gaskets provided by Full-Race are OEM. At least when I pulled apart the OEM exhaust, they looked the same.

Uhm they seem to be, but when I looked on CH Honda, all I could find was the round metal ring which isnt what I need. I need the triangle shaped gasket

If you look at the diagram, that's all there is. I could not find the tri-bolt shaped one on there :/
Stock on an Si is not round.

It could be a mistake in the diagram, but what you want is number 11. 18302-SP0-003

You can always call Paul at CHH tomorrow and verify.

Also, #11 was what I bought from the dealer. But it is just the round metal piece. It's actually exactly the number you just listed for me. I have it in my car.

It looks like number 7 is the metal piece. Intersting. I didn't realize there was a metal piece there as well...I was not able to get those bolts off when I did my install.

In that case, just call Full-Race and get a replacement.

Shipping on a 10$ gasket is 28$ from full race? That cannot be right.....
