Not if the chip burner disabled the code as does TT.  That is the egr solenoid valve...ecm controls it to provide egr at cruise.

Look at a pic of the two mufflers mentioned and you can see the difference

I don't know...it can cause the alternator to get too hot if you ran it a long time making it charge.  It would take a load test to show if it is failing.

Let the car idle, turn on all the lights, and see if the voltage holds steady.

The welded one has all the seams welded up instead of being rolled, or crimped like the normal muffler.  I think it is supposed to be stronger and last longer. 


I can only guess that the 101% could be attributed to a tuning effect that sucks a bit more air through.  One percent is probably in the range of error for the bench.

Yes, they are.

That would be my starting place.  Drove me crazy for a long time on one of my cars.  That sure sounds like a loose connection.

plastic is easier than glass.  You can buy a kit, but, if they are really bad...JD and Charlie's way will give a better result

what?  you want easy? Or, do you want the feeling of victory when you conquer the odds and do what does not want to be done?

I received the Autopal housings today.  They seem to be made pretty well for the price.
