banging gone... exhaust fixed... more power!!!

[1gCtsV05]

as per my last thread I had a banging sound that all of you helped out with greatly (awesomw people on an awesome forum)...

as stated dealer took the car, found the exhaust was twisted and turned up as if it were loosened and moved, but retightened... must hit something!?!?

anyhow... they loosened, straightened and retightened everything, No more noise and my V seems rejuvenated!!!! It is so torquey and powerful now... more than ever before!!!
She wants to jump in ever gear like I never experienced before!!!

I also had an oil change at 35% but I cant see clean fluid having that effect...
I wish i had $$$$ to do more mods... :disappoin the way she is pulling now, couldnt imagine with Maggie, headers, Xpipe, etc...

One thing I've noticed, is that if I'm 1/2 quart of oil low or more (at or lower than the the middle dot on the dipstick) my car makes one hell of a racket. Once I get it back up to completely full (3rd dot), it REALLY quiets down.

This isn't 'nice' noise either, it's 'why did he transplant a 5.0 rustang engine in that nice caddy?' noise.

I now check the oil a lot more frequently, just to make sure. I probabaly burn about 1-2 quarts per change (5k miles).
