So I'm not having any issues, yet (knock on wood) with my 95' celi gt but... yesterday I drove like 750 miles from Indiana to Connecticut in it. After letting it sit overnight, the engine sounds like a prop plane, much deeper than it ever had. It sounds like a tank when I accelerate! I changed the oil before I left, even put new front brakes in. I checked the fluids and the only one that looks a bit low is the engine coolant.
I'm concerned it wont make it for the return trip so I want to be sure that I can do anything I need to until I make that trip next week. Any suggestions? -------------------- |

I've got a similar "booming" sound with certain acceleration, coming from around my firewall. I'm betting exhaust leak at the flex pipe for myself as well. A clunking sound would confirm that theory, seeing as pipe should be bangin' around down there.
