forgot to mention
after getting all the hoses repaired, and the engine degunked, my manifold is still showing signs of a leak.
right now i am having a real hard time telling, it was very dull and gray today, no good lighting.
but, I don't where this leak is coming from
all hoses are new
all hoses are securely fastened.
all hoses have no leaks, and no cuts.
but once again, same leak, same spot, same smell.
the manifold was slightly loose, so I tightened her up, same story...
anyone have any ideas?

Awesome site, I take it they make repops of the muffler our trucks would've had when new?

I remember seeing Warlock mufflers in one of my old Jegs catalogs....performance mufflage when capped, straight-through unmuffled if you undo the cap. Not too bad price-wise either, under $100.
Me personally, I can't decide if I want a Flowmaster (or two), a Cherry Bomb, or find the quietest muffler I can get so I can sneak up on people....

Smart man 
lol
If I get a Flowmaster, I'm not sure if I want to run true dual exhaust or run two-into-one...like dual 2.5" into a single muffler, 3" single out. I do know I eventually want to run headers. I did read on here about someone having starter clearance issues with their headers though, so I might see if I can get shorty headers or something so I don't have that problem. That or custom headers.
EDIT: I'd think so, if you're careful....you'd definitely need to put on a thick work glove or something.
