my car wont start with the wrong fireing order correct? i tired switching it but it wont start, it started one time with 2 plug wires switched it was like the 4 abd 6 cylender wire, but it was horrible and backfiring and i had horrible milege. i drove it for only a few miles. so we switched the wires back and it finally ran good, but it seems i lost alot of low end. i have an auto trans would that make a difference?

it will still start as long as #1 is correct i beleive, just not run right.. like choppy, im assuming its runing right, you would be able to tell if a wire was wrong from how its running. im just not sure what else could be wrong...

You have an x or h pipe? I hear H-Pipes give you better low end and X-Pipes give you better high end. I know you said it sounds great but have you checked for leaks? My friend had an exhaust put on and they did a **** poor job. They left all kinds of leaks all over the place. It sounded awsome but he lost tons of low end. Just like you he couldn't even peal out. Once the leaks were fixed he could spin the wheels all day, but he lost some of that great sound.

they probably have some leaks where they welded the h pipes on causing the loss of your low end
