    Megan Racing Exhaust.

    FYI I just removed my Megan Racing header and flexpipe. The header was a real POS. cracked in 3 places one week after the warranty expired. I use the rest of the system as a cat back and it's fine (so far). But I would get Magnaflow if I could do it over. Megan is junk. You get what you...

    exhaust thumping and a knock inside the block

    JB says it'll hold up to 600 degrees F. Exhaust manifolds get hotter than that? GD....

    exhaust thumping and a knock inside the block

    exhaust thumping and a knock inside the block

    Yeah, it's throwing the P0171. It comes on for a day then goes away for a few days.

    exhaust thumping and a knock inside the block

    haha funny you mention that. my header is cracked and I'm waiting on the replacement. However, I was informed that an exhaust leak wouldn't cause that.

    exhaust thumping and a knock inside the block

    Ok, all of a sudden my exhaust sounds like I have a cam installed. (the wom, wom, wom sound). There is also a pretty loud knocking in/near the block that matches the exhaust tempo. Just wondering what may be happening here. I'm going to scan my Haynes repair manual, but I wanted to ask you...

    Starting Work on my 2.3

    I put a full I/H/E on my 4 cyl. auto and there isn't much of a performance gain man. I should've listened to the dudes on here. Do a tranny swap or leave it alone.

    acceptable estimate on painting bumpers??

    This shop is used by a lot of insurance agencies to do repairs, so maybe that explains the price. I'm sure they use the best quality paint. Still, $1200 is high for me. It's only a few small nicks on the rear, and 2 bigger scrapes on the front. I would feel better at $400/bumper. Anybody...

    acceptable estimate on painting bumpers??

    Hey guys today I went to a place near me that does collision repair to get an estimate to fix a few scrapes on my bumpers and repaint them. They estimated it at $1,200. My first instinct is holy eff that seems way high, but I'm certainly not an expert on the matter...is that a reasonable price?

    Exhaust Question

    droning is what loud exhausts do at cruise speeds, as far as I know (you should ride in my Grandpa's Shelby) but the smell is weird. You shouldn't have 'new exhaust smell' after 6 months...Sometimes when they change your oil some spills onto the exhaust and smells, maybe it's that?? Or maybe...
