    72 pet chicken i dont wanna be a pirate!

    this past weekend i noticed my exaust leak got a lot worse. and since then, its been i little hard to start and it runs kinda rough. or at least sounds really rough. and this morning i was merging onto the freeway and floored it. i got off the gas and like a second later it sounded like a backfire. but it seamed to come from the exaust manifold. any suggestions? hoping to get some headers soon and finally get rid of the damn leak.

    found out why my exaust leak got so much worse.

    turns out the exaust pipe isnt bolted on to the manifold anymore!:af: :af:

    i used to have a 71 buick riviera boattail. i busted the radiator one night and when i got around to fixing it, i couldnt get it to start. so about a week later, was pumping it trying to get it going and it backfired and let off a huge boom! looked under the car and my muffler looked like an aluminum can that had just exploded! it was soo damn funny! car sounded kinda cool after that :TU:
