there seems to be a leak where the headers bolt to the y-pipe. i just bout it and the previous owner told me bout it. it rattles a little and u can see exhaust if it is cold. do u think this would make much a differnce in power, should i worry bout gett'n it fixed right away. i wasn't gonna worry bout it too much but if this can affect noticeable horsepower i'll fix it soon.

 

It probably isn't much of a performance issue. Carbon monoxide is another matter, though.

 

the sound would drive me nuts

 

guess what guys, took it down to Rockford motorsports to check out the exhaust..... the bolts for the header to the y-pipe on both sides were so loose u could see a 1/4" gap inbetween the header/y-pipe. that explains the loudness of the exhaust. it was soo bad that now that i have it all tightened down, it feels like it has way less horsepower. now that i've had a little taste open headers, i'm consider'n those valves to switch to open headers.

 

hey chevy power, check out the midwest board, we are gonna have a cruise on april 6th

 

sweet, i'll check it out. car shoould be out and run'n good by then
