Found one of my exhaust hangers were ripped. It's still holding it up though. Looks like it's time to upgrade. Also sounds like my exhaust manifold may be developing a leak again.. FML oh well, car is going into storage in a couple of months when I go to Iraq for the second time. Looking forward to doing a build thread when I get back.

I have a brand new set of Corksport poly hangers if you'd like to get ahold of them. I accidentally ordered 2 sets, only needed 1.

a V1 valve? how does having a v1 relate to that flange?
i have a V1 valve and mine doesnt have that type of flange, just a normal hks flange

I was responding to this:
I haven't seen that flange design either, but given that its paired with an old ass valve, I'd say its possible that its just a design which has long since been abandoned.

drove my car to work today and on the way there, something strange happened..MY CEL WENT OFF FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER A FREAKING YEAR!!! thanks to recently installing a non fouler. It's nice to drive without the annoying CEL on. Just in time for my annual state inspection in about a week.

not adjustable? thats... very odd. are you sure?
Dunno. Havent taken the backside appart but friend has a v1 and says his isnt adjustable. Looks like prev owner tried to open this one cause one of the nut sockets is stripped so i need a small socket to open that one.

lol thats not a V1 then, all HKS V1's are adjustable
and they have a screw sticking out of the back, so its pretty noticable

I think the V2s had the fins on the side, but I could be wrong... if I'm right, I'm going to bet you got a knockoff. I had a V1 (yellow HKS on the top, adjuster on the back) and now I have a V3...
ill open it up and have a lookie inside. if its a knockoff, as long as it works properly ill be happy enough. Just pawn it off with the piping when i upgrade to a proper intercooler package.
only thing that would sting is that i could have got a similar knockoff on silicon intakes for $40 lol.

if its a v1 then it came with an adjustment screw, they didnt come out with the auto adjust until the v2's
and like wagon said, the HKS should be screened on top in a yellow-ish color
