so i installed the CA header/XTC downpipe today and turned the car on and it's loud as hell.. so i figure that it just isnt tightened enough at the engine itself.. but it's also leaking coolant and smoking.. so yea.. any help would be greatly appreciated lol

my friends said it looks to be coming off of the axle which is really weird because we did not touch that

 

Man, I wish i could help you out. I hope you get it figured out. Maybe you accidentally hit the coolant line in the back where the header goes and its just leaking a bit and dripping down on the axle.

 

yeah check the clearance btwn that silve coolant line and the back of the header. If anything you can rotate that aluminum passage in towards the block to gain clearance...

F'n wierd man... sometimes they fit no problems, sometimes they done.
