first thing we'll do next time we start it, it won't idle right now anyway.i don't know what i am going to do about my stereo, i won't be able to hear it for sure.

u could put 3" bullets in front of the mufflers and it should help cut the noise down and it wont restrict your exaust as bad

Order a new one from summit put your old one in the box and send it back. Tell them it was leaking. Easy FIX [Smile]

That sucks reminds me of my problem with my cam seal on the belt drive. Worst part is I didn't install that shit a machine shop did!
