Yeah, I put in a new header bolt last week, and tightened all the others. The exhaust leak proceeded to get worse. The damn AIR fitting on the passenger side header is loose, and I have no way to tighten it. I think I may have a hole in the passengerheader somewhere, but can't see it anywhere. I finally ordered myself a new air filter though. ($50 from Amazon.com 
) But, you should see the one on the car now. lol. Plus, the car's been running like crap the past few days, because I decided to try putting 89 octane in it. That was a mistake. I guess I'll just have to deal with paying $4.29/gallon for premium. It'll probably go up again too. I wish I had more money. I'd just go ahead and order my Pacesetter LT's now. Then, I could get rid of that exhaust leak, the AIR pump, and EGR. And I'd free up so much space in the engine compartment, that I could change my plugs and wires. lol

You might want to fix that license plate too since without it it might be affecting ur aerodynamics.

lol. I wish I still had my old Z24. That'd make me feel better in a hurry. Going from a mid-high 13 second car to a low-mid 15 second car.

This problem is easily solved. Rent a Prius for a week. One week later, your Z28 is magically faster!

[8D]. I thought about trying to make it a 13 second car. But, decided to just go ahead and buy one that didn't need FI to do it. lol. I wish my dad hadn't have taken the Fusion to work. Then, I could go take it for a ride and feel a lot better about my car. I don't want to take my mom's Aspen, because the Hemi makes it feel decently quick for an SUV.
