I knew I had a problem with some new noises on the car when I got home from Carlisle. It ran well but was making noise(creaking type) when I started to pull out of Carlisle. I put it up on ramps when I got home yesterday and just crawled under it to find one of my homemade bent up exhaust brackets had snapped in half! That allowed the whole exhaust on that side to move around. I'm pretty sure I know which place on the PA tpk it happened. They have a couple of spots where the road raises up for some reason and you could see all the scrape marks from other vehicles bottoming out. I didn't bottom out or scrape the headers, but the impact of the bump must have snapped the bracket. It was pretty thick galvanized metal but it was at a bend that had a groove cut in it so that made it a lot weaker. Got a new bracket bent up and bolted back in place. Ready for the cruise nights this week!
