thats what im getting at... my exhaust leak is REALLY close to the engine, as in, coming outta the passenger exhaust manifold - and I'm having really lumpy/sputtery driving characteristics which weren't there before. I checked all my vacuum hoses, pcv hoses, and my air filter is brandy new, so im looking at the exhaust as the source of my problem

I just want someone who knows SVXi to confirm that this is whats doing it
