The engine sounds much better, better than before. I guess that exhaust leak was more prevalent than I realized.

Next up... windshield, tires, new mufflers, maybe new seats with head restraints. But those are all on different threads.

...its almost ALWAYS an exhaust leak. Also a tip, het some marker paint and put a dab on yor exaust fasteners, you can 1. See if they are there, and 2. See if theyve turnrd...my biggest fight has always been the header to side pipe flanges.
