I had just put seafoam into the intake, and waited the 5 minutes. I start it, and take off at full throttle, as I was on the side of a slow country highway. Into second, I hear a very loud pop or snap or backfire or something, and I see a part tumbling behind me.... Yikes. I turned around and got it, and was horrified at what I saw. It's very thick steel... and at least 6 inches wide and long. Two ~14mm bolts hold it together. It looks like some part of mounting or something.... I don't know... Any ideas? I'll post a pic in a few...

The pics would solve it in a real hurry.
I wouldn't drive the car until then.
But the fact the car turned around & drove back, could this be a ghetto exhaust hangar that someone installed at one time?Last edited by Aspire; 03-29-2011, 05:41 PM. -
