My flexpipe's been broken for about a month now. I was beginning to wonder if that's what was causing my power loss. I've noticed that now if I'm in gear, and under 2000rpm, I'll floor it and get absolutely nothing for half a second, and then it slowly picks up until about 3700rpm when it goes all crazy. Also, when I let off in gear it starts farting and backfiring when the revs drop past 1700rpm. I've actually kind of gotten to like the sound, but I'd like some actual torque back.

What a friekin' coincidence! My flexpipe is rusted to hell also! It's good to know that I'm right at home here guys. Mine hasn't started sounded cool yet but I'm sure once it finishes rusting out, I'll really be in business. Damn, I can't wait! It's gonna be sweet...
