I just did a pressure test, about 49psi idle, drops down to about 40 on rev. Sounds about right, doesn't it?

I know factory put a lil kink in the exhaust for clearance, however, it wasn't enough and my drive shaft just about beat it closed. Lol
me too! thanks bro, well maybe it's time you got a new header or least a new downpipe?

thats if your o2 sensors are still good

With stuff like this I'd check the easy stuff first, and my eye would be that o2 sensor as they do not last forever. 50 bucks or so and you could be back in the saddle

Checked compression on my cylinders because of the overheats. Each cylinder makes 145-160 psi of pressure.

I talked myself into getting a new 02. Not it. Lol. I checked my MAP, and it's volts are within range. I am going to get the crush fixed and get a new cat. Good news: low-pro shackle relocators just arrived! Stoked!!

Who was on I15 North in a white 97+ with splash guards? Had a RE LA lift...
And the black 4 door on N 5th with ACES on the plate... made me feel like a ******* waving with no response!

Something broke on the freeway today, steering is really sloppy and it shakes like hell when I hit a bump. I know I have a shot UCA bushing, so I am hoping that is the only thing wrong. Looks like a good reason to upgrade everything again!
