Hartge x pipe

[tonycajjo]

so i was under the x and i couldnt feel a leak around the welds i was concerned about, now i'm wondering if it could be higher up, like the manifold gasket or the seal around where the oxygen sensors are. im still in the market for the hartge x pipe, but i posted this new thread.

I think there is an X5 forum member named Hans_ACS who is based in Belgium who recently installed a HARTGE exhaust. Shoot him a pm about your problem with HARTGE. HTH....

thanks, his PM box is full, but ill try again later on.

[tonycajjo]

still no luck.

No luck with what? Hartge?

[tonycajjo]

i emailed every hartge address i found and couldn't get a hold of any of our german friends. i'm putting this one on the back burner for now.

[X5 Meister]

Why don't you just call them?

[tonycajjo]

the phone just rang and rang...

i dropped my exhaust completely and fixed it up. sounds much much better.

they must have been away before, cause i got a response this monday myself. i had dropped the exhaust completly this saturday and welded up the top part which was never done. after all the unexpected money i put into my X this past week, from fluids to gaskets, radiator fans, fan clutch and electric fan motor, to the water pump and thermostat, and the fact that i have yet to pay for my last excursion to hawaii, i think i may have to hold off on this.
