yesterday i was cruzing around with my friends and i was being kinda of hard with my car trying to keep up with there cars(evo, s2000, wrx) and on my way out of a parking lot i floored it and spun my wheels. ever since my wheels spun a noise louder than my muffler seems to be coming from my engine. everything works properly but the noise is too loud. i didnt have time to really look at it yet but i was hoping someone could tell me things to check for mybe my y pipe but it seems to be coming from the actual engine.
thanks for any helpful seggestions

 

You have a gxe and your wheels spun? Well, I would say an exhuast manifold stud or two has broken. Check them all and get back with us....and try to keep up with slower cars next time.

 

is that bad for the car do drive around with a broken stud untill i have money to buy parts or get it fixed? Because im pretty sure thats the problem i went out on my lunch break and thats what a coworker told me it could be

 

Not that bad; you will lose performance, and a lot of low end. You should be fine though, I have a small leak from there, and have been driving for a while.

 

Long term effects of broken manifold studs is usually warping of the flange[mating surface] on the manifold.....

 

If you want to keep up with those cars, you need a 350z + boost or sumthin'
maybe check the motor mounts too?

 

today after work ill have time to check it out. If its the exhaust manifold what do i have to do to fix it.

awsome so if i have a shop do this how much am i looking at?

 

Parts will be cheap,but the labor will empty your wallet quickly....Get several quotes from different shops...guessing i would say $300 to $600....maybe more.

 

average shop repair price is about $300 per manifold.. so $600 to do the whole engine.

I'd do it yourself if you have the tools, num chuck skillz, and time.
