Exhaust

Hi all

 

just had a new up pipe fitted to my gb270 as my other had a leak 

 

now this one has been fitted something (up pipe/down pipe) is catching on the steering knuckle when turning and making an awful sound when turning mainly left, 

 

anyone any ideas

Also today eml has come on and it seems to be running rough 

could this be maf needs a clean?

Was it a like for like swap?

 

COuld be the maf or could be something else, need to plug in and see what the EML is

P0171 - system to lean (bank 1) 

thinking the lambda may of been damaged when changing up pipe Or gone faulty

Could be it was, they do get alot of heat on them so can be damaged when removed.

I would say, the primary concern here is the steering knuckle fouling the downpipe issue. 

Iv experienced that sort of fouling problem when using cheapo brands. Your either gonna 1. have to marker Pen the area that touches, then take off the pipe and smack it with a hammer & put it back on & keep doing that till it clears, but you risk bending pipe. And it's a load of effort. 

Or 2. get a quality branded pipe that fits correctly out of the box. 

Then the running lean issue would be the next issue to sort out. 

🤔I would just get a new oem sensor with a new quality brand pipe.
