Manchester Foreign Auto

Have you checked to see if the previous owner added a clutch stop? I have one in my car and when I first installed it, it felt a little sticky when depressing the clutch fully, because the end is rubber. The clutch stop could also be preventing the clutch from engaging 100%, which could cause...

I would reach out to Manchester Foreign Auto, they do great work and pricing is really fair. It's the only shop I bring my car to.

That's interesting. How many hours of labor do you think it would take a shop to repair this? I live 10 minutes away from the Lou's custom exhaust headquarters in Manchester so I'll likely get a quote from them.

Yeah that's actually one of the other options I was considering but the catted version is just too much money for me right now. I don't want to just throw away an $800 downpipe ether, unless someone would be willing to buy it with the leak. I'll get some quotes on repairing it, and if I am able...

So in December of 2019 I purchased an IE downpipe, brand new from ECS. Had it installed and didn't have any issues for over a year. Quality seemed great and it sounds good. A few months ago I started to notice an exhaust leak developing. My mechanic found a loose clamp so we figured it was just...

Just ordered a type 2 (y)

MFA is awesome.

Ah ok, that's weird. I haven't noticed that with mine. I'll have to check after work if mine does the same thing but it feels solid to me.
