I do have the exhaust leak fixed as of today and the car is running without CEL. I am noticing 2 things I've not noticed before and the 1st is a light rattle / grinding noise when I am making a left turn and engaging first gear (like turning into a plaza) I triple checked all bolts and nuts and everything is still on and solid, so I don't know what it is. I am *very* fortunate to have Nelsmar's help with this. He's really made a significant difference in the way it feels and runs.

The second is a smell I can't identify. Since I am now using a used stock header to replace my stock header, I suppose there could have been oil in it or something depending on how nice previous owner / user was to the damn thing. --- *** RESOLVED *** smell is gone, so what ever it was burnt up in the exhaust

I am about to reflash to tune version 1.13.5 and we will go from there (so basically version 1.18 of this tune.) I need a replacement snorkle though.

EDIT::: http://datazap.me/u/celadrielas/cel-...5?log=0&data=1 FLKC pings when I shift into 3rd for a second

For those interested - @JB86'd , @steve99, @nelsmar
