93 LX I have an emissions test coming up soon.... the old escort sprung a few leaks over winter :lol: 6 seperate leaks to be exact. there was ZERO pressure at the tail pipe, haha 1- exhaust manifold gasket 2- flange @ flex pipe 3- flex pipe 4- pipe between flex and resonator 5- pipe beside R.R. strut 6- Muffler inlet So i basically replaced everything, but left a small section of the old pipe. And threw in a new Bosch o2 sensor at the same time. (original 91' 20 yr old sensor was in it) hopefully she passes, wish me luck
wow that's just a few leaks, I bought a 92 EGT last year and same thing, it had NO exhaust leaving the rear of the tail pipe, most of the pipe just fell apart when I tried to remove it!!! the flex pipe looked like a birds nest it was so bad lol, I was glad to get that all replaced with dodge neon 2 1/4 pipe! you'll pass if you put a new cat in and got it mostly non leaky, but good luck!
the cat on it is not original..and i passed 2 years ago so im going to take my chances with it silverton - no, but you get style points 8)
ROFL you would Dennis! cmon run open header on the truck! that'd sound HECKA BEEFY! man now I wanna run open header on the pacesetter and compare loudness
The stock 2nd gen's exhaust loves to break right at the front of the flex joint. I think I've patched up that section about 4 times to 4 different escorts.
^Words cannot describe how loud my Tracer was when that happened to me. Revving beyond 3000rpm caused major ear rapage.
