Is it on the driver side? Mine did the same thing and the e-manifold bolt had broke off in the head. Also not a good thing to be driving around with it like that.

i know im getting it fixed this weekend after 2 weeks of driving it like that, but it makes me lose power though doesnt it? because of lack of back pressure?

You will loose a little bit of power, but not really alot to notice. Now would be a good time to upgrade to the LT's..

Not necessarily, depends on what you want to do. Get a Muffler shop to do an X-pipe, and get true-duals in.

That's a good question.. I have a Y-pipe into a Bullet that dumps infront of the Rear Axle, and it sounds like some of the Dual setups..

i really wanna get my car dynoed, i had a disappointing race today, against my cousin in his n/a 300zx, normally i walk it pretty hard, and today we went from a 35 roll and he stayed beside me until like 55 or so its like my car wouldnt wake up and start pulling....and then we raced again and it looked like i was gonna pull on him good and i missed a gear...it just feels like my lt1 isnt as strong as it was maybe 3 weeks ago...
