I removed the muffler to replace the gaskets in an effort to rid the popping on decel. Won't re-install until tomorrow because I decided to clean up muffler apply a coat of heat resist paint. Out of curiosity I started the car with just header/exchanger to see if popping still existing - it did. Does this mean my leak is before the muffler gasket (exhaust manifold gasket) or is this typical without muffler installed . BTW - there was clear evidence that the exhaust was escaping at least at one of the the muffler gaskets as you could see black residue on the bottom outside edge of the gasket (no seal).

Are you sure the leak isn't at the head to exchanger area? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I guess I'll find that out if I still have popping after exhaust/muffler gaskets are installed. I have cleaned up the surfaces - tx |
