reall big problem with my car
welll i just got exhaust on my car and now i cant even acclerate witout the car making this loud popping sound kinda lieka clicking...andd it not only makes the noise but i cant accelerate hardly at all its very slow. the thing is it did it before the exhaust, just not alot, now its everytime i get into drive and louder...just wondering if anyone knew what it might be.

Is it an exhaust leak? I have blown the exhaust gasket and it makes a ticking sound. I would also use FEL-PRO gaskets if it is an exhaust leak. Timing and tune up will do wonders for your car. Check around your headder and around every exhaust flange. You might have a leak.
