Emission/Header Leak Question; need help
So I've got a horrid exhaust leak out of the passenger side, towards the front. I've been dealing with that heart-breaking ticking sound for about a month, because I cannot find the leak, and I haven't a clue what to do. My car had shorty headers on it when I first got it (99 TransAm) and they're still on there. I'm just thinking about putting new headers on it, hopefully eliminating the problem. Now, do I still need to hook up the EGR, or can I get rid of that, and what about O2 sensors? If anybody has an idea about fixing the leak, I would be contempt with that as well. Can a 17 year old kid even do this in the driveway/garage?
