Just found this site. Wow. Great info. I have had my 72 914 for 30 yrs. Restored it 10 yrs ago. Still all original--fuel injected. Since then, it has been driven very little (unfortunately). In the last year, I have started getting a popping or backfire on decceleration. It is getting worse and worse. The car drives great and strong other than this annoying habbit. I heard about the exhuast leak possibility and put my had under the car while it was running. I can feel airflow under each heat-exchanger to head connection! Is this normal? I don't understand how ALL could be leaking. I used the copper rings when I connected them 10 yrs ago. Could they be going bad?? I need an expert!!

I wish I had found you guys sooner! I did get under there to check if the connections were loose, and they didn't seem to be. I tried tightening, and sure enough, one of them snapped off! Damn it! I think I can cut the heat-exchanger hole down so the bolt will screw back on. In any case, they seem to be on there solid--no movement. But I can still feel hot air comming from somewhere in that vicintiy. I shouldn't feel any air there, right?? Could the seals just be bad or not a smooth fit?? Not sure where to go from here.
