GeneralDisorder Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Air introduced in the y-pipe mixes with unburned fuel and then ignites in the muffler. Look for holes in your y-pipe and disable any ASV's that you may have still functioning or that are bad. A rich mixture can contribute to the severity, but will not by itself cause backfireing like that - you still need the fresh oxygen to get into the exhaust stream somewhere upstream - almost always in the y-pipe in my experience.

daeron Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Seriously, the resemblance is uncanny.. I think this may be my avatar's long lost cousin, Russ T Pipes!!! EDIT allright, allright, I'll go to bed and stop troubling you with the nonsensical ravings of a lunatic mind. :-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privateer56 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I had a 1962 Falcon Wagon that I used to switch the ignition off and on real quick to get it to backfire on command:cool: (kids at my high school would go nuts I was a lot more foolish back then). Once, on the Taconic Parkway in NY, I held it off just a smidgen too long and when I found the muffler in the tree line about 70 feet from where the car came to a rest:eek: it looked just like that. Only black. And with a lot of holes in it. The detonation lifted the rear of the wagon about 2 feet in the air. Bent the floorpan and it was the loudest ride I have ever taken home. That was after the ringing in my ears stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomRhere Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I've had that happen on a couple vehicles. I found the cause to be ignition related for the most part. Your muffler looks like a slight grin compared to what the '92 Dakota did to it's muffler. When I say it blew the muffler, I mean it "BLEW" the muffler.....
