Hey Gifford,
Thanks for the reply. I may not have been clear enough in my request.
I have had the MagnaFlow exhaust system installed on my GTV for quite some time now. During the installation, a MagnaFlow technician stated that the system may need periodic adjustment. I was told to loosen (all?) the connection points, re-twist the pipes, hold and re-tighten. I cannot remember which direction I was instructed to loosen and twist the pipes.
I mention this because I do not want to put unnecessary strain on the cast iron headers and I see flashes from underneath during backfires. Therefore I am wondering if there is an opening in the exhaust system, i.e. something needs to be tightened or welded up.
More on (moron?) these flashes. I am seeing them reflect off embankments next to the driver's or passenger door. It's been a while since I cralled around underneath the car so I have not inspected the exhaust for holes yet. I know, I should address the backfire issue - carbs running too rich.
