All *kinds* of noise, no power, thought the engine was toast. That was like 100 miles into a 6,125 mile trip. Was soooo happy when I found out that that was all it was! Also, if one of those $1 clamps 'twixt heater box & header gets loose, your max rpms -- or at least the apparent smoothness, I haven't a tach -- goes way down. These, I'm sure, would have nothing to do with your hesitation, Steven, but I thought I'd just second the opinion on the nuttiness that can be caused by loose exhaust bits in my experience. -Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
