Something's not right. Smells like exhuast in the cabin, and a very slight backfire has developed on the left side...like a very subtle 'pop pop pop' at idle, and a more pronounced, single 'POP' on decel around 2800-3100 RPM. I've got it paired up to a Triad exhaust. What gives?
I swore to my wife that I wouldn't have the car up on ramps for a while since I just pulled it down (after 2.5 months) 2 days ago, so I took it to a custom exhaust place here in town and had them do the install. They said I needed new hoses (parts 21 & 23 here, hope you don't mind George!). The original ones were put back on, but they're pretty deteriorated and have small holes/cuts in them. Could that be it? I wish I understood how heat exchangers worked. I did a search on google hoping to learn just that but came up empty. Yes, I realize that if there's exhaust pouring into the cabin it could potentially be fatal. I drove the car home with the windows down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I intend to contact the shop today, but was hoping to get some feedback from you all first. Thanks in advance Reid |

Inside the tins the pipes are not bent much. I'd have to say they ARE bent much. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) There's at least half a dozen bends in there. Attached image(s) |

The bends are slight as compared to where they bend up toward the head. I would think that the bends up to the heads would be the first place they would fail. The outer pipes ar bent a little more than I expected. I am curious where and why they failed. Are those your pipes in the picture? Why were they taken apart? |
