first of all i apologize for making another exhaust topic as others already have but i couldnt find what i was lookin for by searching others. my 01 v6 stang has an exhaust leak and its up towards the motor somewhere is all i really know. i dont know how bad it is but i know its easy to hear.. some people have said exhaust leaks arent a big deal and dont worry about it and others recommend fixing it. i was wondering what are ya'lls opinions? also could this be weakening my car's performance any? i'm just afraid its gonna be expensive to take it to woolwine. any advice appreciated

post cat not a big deal pre cat big deal

its nto gonna make or break your car but its not workign right. and it sounds bad to me! i had a leak and it drove me NUTS!

start your car cold and move your hand around the manifolds down to the collecter and see if its up there

i have the same problem on the exhaust headers... its not a big deal but it is terribly annoying its hard to hear mine over the power steering pump lol ... just get new exhaust headers if it sounds like its coming from the engine

To say its not a big deal is not completely true. It depends how bad it is and where its leaking. It the leak is large enough, the check engine light will kick on, and then the gas mileage will start to degrade. In worst case, it the leak is at any of the primary tubes, it can cause a burnt valve. I would just try and take it easy on the car, and get it fixed as soon as you can.

check out these pictures i've found on google images.. i love it! the blue and black looks so awesome to me. I want to fix my car up excatly like it. its called Mach1, which im hoping someone can explain to me cause i dont understand it. is that just what the design and looks of the car is called, or does it have other differences than regular mustangs, like motor wise and all? i'm thinking its just another type of mustang like a cobra or saleen but im not sure. but anyway what do you all think about it and does anyone know the excact name of that color blue so maybe one day (way later) i can get my car painted that color? (dang i need some cash lol)
