What you are looking at is a gap between the BBK header and the pipe going to the side exhaust. There is a gap just like this on the other side. I have a feeling the header and the side exhaust are as close as they are going to get without some major bending work. I think this is what is causing my backfiring when I let up off the gas. Anyone know what to do about this?
How long have you been driving it like this? A 3/4" gap all the way around on both sides is pretty close to running open headers and the sound would be pretty loud not to mention the mess inside the engine compartment. Are you sure its that big of a gap? Or are you saying that there is 3/4" between the flanges?
