In a Lowered car it's not hard to mess up your exhaust.

- Fri May 21, 2010 5:27 am #195836 Shift linkage moving alot means you most likely have issues with your rear t bracket mount. that stops engine from moving forward and backwards.

With the Exhaust totally coming undone it makes since that your earlier problems where that you have exhaust leaks from engine torquing and riding to low.

If your header is in decent shape weld it back together(or if you can't weld an exhaust shop can do it for you.)
