There's an easy way to check if your exhaust is clogged. Start the car, get it to 3K rpms and hold it there for a minute LOL. If the pipes, cat, pre-cat, muffler or whatever you have on there lights up from the heat, then you have a problem.





Alright, I pulled that out of my ***, but theoretically it sounds legit.

If all else fails, do a compression check for apexes.....

good luck man
its a chopping sound during accelertion and normal driving. it does kind of sound like theres something in the exhaust. it seems to make sense especially that the exhast is so old. im still having trouble getting it off to check if its the problem or not.

Use a rust penetrator, like liquid Wrench to soak down the bolts.. let sit for a few hours, then wrench on it.
