As I've said in another thread, I've had some trouble with my car producing fumes lately. Checked it out, and none of the recommended areas seem to be the culprit. And, inspection time is coming up. I have an 87 Chevy Silverado that has quite a few holes in the exhaust, after the muffler. That thing used to pass inspection with flying colors lol. It had what appeared to be the full stock exhaust, as well. Meaning, it didn't appear that the cat had ever been changed. It would produce less than half of the contaminates than was required to pass. My guess is because of all those holes, in the old exhaust.
Well, say the stang (94 GT) can't pass inspection this go round. We got the sniffer test here in TX. And typically, if you've got bad fumes or oil smoke or whatever, you don't pass. Well, maybe my stang could benefit from a few extra holes in the exhaust, after the muffler? Or perhaps, in the back of the mufflers? Or would that make too much noise? It needs to be quiet, for obvious reasons.
Can't really afford to dump any money into the car right now to fix it. Redoing my house is sucking up all the extra money.
