Re: Hookers are here!! (gtsyellow)
Just talked to 5 muffler shops and they say that the reason the things will blow out is because people dont retighten them down after the heat cycle. Kind of like a head gasket. That and cheap headers with thin flanges..

Do NOT lube the bolts. Let the car run, cool down, and re-torque.
I check the torque on mine every few months to make sure they are tight. Have not had any issues yet.

Re: Hookers are here!! (corvette0096)
any thing missing here?
I used the 7th cylinder location on my 383 and the system couldn't get proper fuel trim, nor would it go open loop at WOT.

Re: Hookers are here!! (Torched 93)
Several factors come into play. If the ECM isn't seeing what it likes from the O2 sensor, it won't go open loop. I've seen several (more than 2, less than 6) people who've had the problem, and it was solved by going to a heated O2 sensor that could see the whole bank of pistons.
