The exhaust had started to wheeze and even leak a little recently, resulting in unpleasant noxious fumes in the cabin. It was especially problematic with the windows down, and with as much beautiful warm sunny weather we have here, a lot of driving is done with the windows rolled down…
A quick inspection revealed that the PO had connected the headers to the exhaust pipes without any gasket or clamp, and it was surprising it didn’t make more noise than it did.
2 olive gaskets and exhaust clamps later and the beast is purring like a 2 tonne kitten, not a whiff of exhaust to be had in the cabin anymore.
Nice. Ready for the next problem!
