I have a stocked out 94 st and my take off is really slow. This has just been happening recently. I can floor it and more noise than anything is happening. Does anybody know what might be wrong.
For example I can floor it in gravel and it doesn't even burn out, it's kinda scary entering a Hwy. and your barely moving. |

Exhaust leaks result in a loss of torque (low end power). Our engines need backpressure in the exhaust system. With your leaking exhaust manifold, I can see you losing low end power.
edit: 1 more thing, I bet with that loud exhaust leak your not giving it gas like you used to. I bet at WOT your car is loud as hell. This post has been edited by DomGT: Jul 2, 2006 - 5:28 PM -------------------- '92 Grey Mitsubishi 3000GT SL - Sold
