not unless you do a piss-poor install haha. But really, there can be a vacuum leak from the valve covers, just not from the gaskets. Look for any small cracks on the VC that could let air through

I bought a Monza / Pacesetter exhaust system for my 2.0 and its awesome. I guess its an offbrand from Ferrari, the kit was $299.95, but included all the piping and it fit stock placement, and hell it even looks stock but sounds extravagant.

There is a are so many different combos and different amounts you will have to pay. I like this combo - Dynomax Super Turbo Offset Inlet / Offset Outlet ( flows better than the Center offset because of the S shape path in fact all Turbos do). They are a little trickier to install but they sound great. Price is about 45.00. You ad a Stainless Resinated 3 R Racing tip from Advance Auto for another 20.00. The Tip really smooths the sound out allot. Go to you local Muffler guy and have him take the Mid car resinator off and get it all welded up. Should only be 50-80.00 for labor? This I promise will sound nice and deep. It will not Drone on the Highway and drive you crazy. Even now without a Cat and headers it is not overly loud and and still nice and throaty. You get only a hint of sound inside on the highway. Loud is fun till you get tired of it in a about a week. If you want to spend 400.00 for a complete Borla or Maganaflow Catback and get 2-3 hp that is OK but in my Opinion that is just foolish. Use that money for headers. If you can get away with no cat in your state there is more power there than with the cat back. I can tell that wiht my headers and no cat with my KLZE I get about 26mpg in mixed driving. With my old MX6 with stock exhaust but with the above mentioned set up I got about 22 in mixed driving. That will tell you how much the cat and manifold rob the power and economy. Screw the oil companies and the Libs Green Crap! Hey another tip: Since we are suppose to run Premium, get the Octane Booster from OReilly's when they have the 2 for 2.00 and use regular and save .20 a gallon. That is 3.00 overall but take off the Booster and you save 2.00 a tank. It all adds up.
