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).

You definitely have a heat exchanger/muffler leak on the left gasket.
Buy new gaskets. Cheap from Pelican or AA. Maybe you need new nuts/bolts/washers? The popping will disappear. Never supposed to reuse a gasket, even if you use it for a week. They crush and cause leaks after tightening down even once. We are talking less than 10 bucks for new ones. John |
