Hi all I have recently fitted E9 80 series 3inch outlet and downpipe to my E5 I have since developed a misfire at around 3000-4500 rpm, also I have noticed that the coolant pipes are all rock hard after a few minutes of driving, do the E5's suffer with head gasket problems as I have noticed that the expansion bottle is empty as well.
Any help would be appreciated I have done a block leak test but found no fault, I know this isn't always accurate so that is why i'm asking.
plugs have been changed and gapped to 0.5, coils and leads also changed

Head gaskets failures are not common except for in the highly modded scene
