    Will this be more restrictive than good??

    I bought some dynomax super-turbo mufflers for really cheap. Anyways, it turns out they're 2" diameter but i thought they were at least 2.25". I can't take them back but if i weld them in place of my stock mufflers, will this be more restrictive or not? For exhaust I have the factory headers...

    Hot starting problems... FACTORY headers!

    I've noticed for a little while that my car doesn't like to start AS good when it's hot. It cranks a lot slower than it does when it's cold. Then today, I came home from work, came in the house and did a few things, went back out and it wouldn't start, and still won't. I checked the voltage...

    Clutch noise - NOT THE USUAL T/O bearing noise!

    It doesn't make any noise when the clutch pedal is out or in or any other time EXCEPT every once in a while it seems to squeek (best way to describe it but deeper sounding than a squeek) when I let off the clutch in 1st. It always happens at the same point in letting out the clutch and it seems...
