made that exact noise under acceleration. guess i found the culprit. its a 2011

this is my current plan, considering the labor for replacing the engine comes to $2600, which i find surprising, especially at a dealer.

my plan is to get a decent condition used motor, a better clutch, headers, and an exhaust and get all that installed while theyre replacing the motor.

What year motor? Newer years have the updated gaskets.

My two cents: the OEM headers are well designed and unless you're going for long tube headers - which means deleting your catalytics, which could be a problem in your state - non-LTH aftermarket headers dont have a good cost-benefit ratio.

If you havent yet, get the CMAK kit with a new clutch and flywheel from ZSpeed. And consider a mild wire re-loom and tuck while the engine's out!
