Well, I lost one of the tailpipes off my exhaust, at the glasspack.
If you can't remember/don't know or whatever, my exhaust consits of a dual-inlet/outlet cat keeping it 2 pipes all the way through. The glasspacks were installed like 2 inches or so from the cat.
Anyway.. when having to remove the gas tank skid plate to replace the intank pump, I somehow managed to mangle the one pipe, and the weld broke at the glasspack. A couple days later it finished falling off.
My question is.. will this create any sort of problem if I drive it like this for a while? It's been about 500 miles or so like this.. could this cause a slow degredation of power from the engine and not cause any codes?
Also, when checking the slow idle speed, should it be checked with the spout connector plugged in, or unplugged? And what could cause the engine to not lower to the warm idle? Even after driving 10 miles, it still seems like it's idling at the cold idle..
