We have WICKED WEDNESDAY every week. This week we are going to be at Dairy Queen or the BBQ place next to DH buffet. I have to look at the thread and see what the guys decided on. Come on out and join us. We meet up around 6pm.

I do have a ? fellas and fellow 5.0ers. I think I have an exhaust leak. You know the Spitting sound passenger side near the headers. BBK's. I open the hood and I look down there I can hear it distinctly lower right hand side of the headers. Should I check to see if the Bolts are tightened snug and such. I dont believe It came with gaskets..??

Candy it can be in two locations.. Notorious on these fox bodies.. If you have not changed out the gasket in a long time.. That can be your issue.. I just replaced mine on a 91 LX and the gaskets were completely destroyed. The leak can be located where the header and H-Pipe Collector Meet.

yeah i had a lil bit of a leak and i popped the hood and noticed one of the header bolts was about to fall out so i tightened it and the leak was gone. now on my v6 i was having a popping sound coming from the header area and it turned out to be a loose spark plug and it eventually fell out but it sounded very similar to an exhaust leak so u might check bolts and plugs before u go through the hassle of changing ur gasket itll save u a headache lol
