Author Topic: Some Help Please!!! wikdstang ¯ Member # 357 posted                              I have a 2000 GT with the bolt ons listed in my Sig but the car feels like i have lost some horse power. I know i have an exhaust leak but can that be making me loss that much power. I raced my friend the other day with his 90 5.0 which is basically stock except for mufflers and he pulled crazy on me on the freeway i couldnt catch him where before i used to pull on him on the freeway when my car was stock. The car just doesnt want to pick up anymore and i dont know whats wrong any suggestions? -------------------- 2000 GT Eibach Sportlines,Steeda Caster/Camber plates,Steeda Tri-ax,BBK underdrive pullies,Mac Pro Chamber,JBA Shorty Headers, 2 Chamber flowmasters, K&N,Bilstein shocks and struts,Cobra brakes with cross drilled rotors,Cobra front Fascia and 2000 Cobra R Hood, Rims, And Wing Posts: 28 | From: san diego, ca, us | Registered: Jul 2001  |  : Quick 88LX ¯ Member # 1950 posted                                 Fix that leak and start pulling codes bro. -------------------- "Men are Made, Not Born" Car Picture : http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/quick88lx/ Original Member #495.

Like the other guy said try fixing the leak first and then go from their.
