This is waaay more than a little one. It sounds like a damn stock car, and the cab fill with exhaust gas, so can't drive it with the windows up.

You mean you don't like sounding like a stock car with open headers?

Do you know what the leak is Pat? Exhaust manifolds or something like that?

It's where the downpipe meets the manifold. The manifold studs have competely rusted away, so Joe is going to drill them out, and put in bolts.

I think you should just run straight pipes up through the hood like the truck pullers do...

That'll wake the neighbors up!

and what is wrong with open headers on a car?????

Right after I dropped my built 400 into my Monte Carlo, that sucker got fired up with open headers inside a closed barn....... that sucker just sat there and was as quiet as a mouse
