Exhaust Question
Does anyone know if an out of balance exhaust (ie on half of the engine less restricted tan the other) can make the engine run like a bag of shit.
I was messing with my Ute today and converted the stock single tail pipe muffler to a twin large bore tail pipe home made jobby. The new pipe that I
welded in is a lot louder than the original.
I take it the single tail pipe mufflers have different internals than the twin (beetle type)??
It`s kind of like it won`t rev up properly and is poping and farting.
Think I better weld the hole up hey??!!

The thing is, it ran fine before I cut another hole in the stock muffler (it had a pressing where the outlet on the twin tail pipe muffler is).
All I was wondering was why has it made it run like crap??
I have not touched any of the flanges etc and there are no leaks.
Cheers.
Graham.

Back pressure would be my guess as well as a leak.
VW engines rely on back pressure, without it they do run like crap and have heaps less torque....
