Near External Wastegate/Exhaust Manifold louder than Exhaust
 

Hello, so this might be a dumb question but wanted to ask since I’m not sure if everything is good and don’t wanna mess up, I replaced my turbo, downpipe and exhaust manifold, after everything was installed it sounded way way louder near the external wastegate/exhaust manifold area than the actual exhaust, and I’m not sure if that’s okay if it I missed something since the sound near manifold/wastegate is much louder than the actual exhaust. Wanted to get y’all’s opinion, thank you, attached a video

your 2 second video doesnt tell much BUT.............. with an exhaust that loud, if its LOUDER up front then you 100% have an exhaust leak. a big one....

Haha yeah I apologize, cut the video up since it won’t let me upload bigger but okay thank you! I’ll have to take a look where it’s at, thank you!

here’s a longer video

yea thats an exhaust leak... when its cold, use your hand and feel around every joining section and feel for air escaping. for one that large you will feel it pretty easily. make sure you check the v band for the downpipe all the way around, where the manifold meets the block and where the turbo meets the manifold.

Okay thank you I’ll go ahead and do that and update
