My exhaust gets choppy when I hop on it. I check all the bolts on the pipes and there tight as hell. Mufflers are in good shape no rust or anything. I was trying to tighten my header bolts and those seem fine.

What the hell makes it chop like that???? It just started doing this after the tranny job.

Is it true that a choppy exhaust is because of lose bolts? Or could it be something else? Could a header gasket do it?

Thanks a bunch.
