XForce dump pipe

Been chasing a minor exhaust leak that's quite noticeable on first start however quietens down somewhat when warm.

I suspected it was the dump pipe and upon removal noticed what appears to be a very long crack. Just seems too straight to crack like that and is more than likely a deep scratch from fitment many years ago??

Is this common?

That’s miles better than normal condition as Xforce have a bad habit of splitting around and under the weld

 

It’s common for the Flange on the rear housing where it bolts to the manifold ( T3 ) to leak and a simple nip up can rectify it or a new SS gasket 

 

That mark on the First picture doesn’t look like a split but your second picture looks like a big crack ... Grab a pick and have a dig at it and let us know :)

Thanks

I gave it a good clean and a run over with some wet n dry and it's just a scratch. At least it's shiny again!!

Put it all back together and checked all fittings - sure enough found the bottom 2 turbo manifold nuts a tad loose.

Will teach me to check the obvious things first!

Fired it up and all good.
