I went to the track about a month ago and the times I ran were really slow to me... I ran a best of 14.5 at 97 mph with a 2.111 60 foot...granted it was my first time to the track at a track that everyone says is way slow but still that seems bad for my mods (in sig)...but today I was looking under the hood and found an exhaust leak...the rear arm of my passenger side header was missing a bolt and the other bolt was way loose about ready to fall out type loose...could this account for my times being as slow as they were?? the other thing I know was I had a tiny traction issue (chirped tires shifting to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th was running 38 psi street tires) and my clutch was starting to go out (not slipping but I missed third several times)...I dunno you guys think that the exhaust leak played a big part?

No it wouldn't hold you back that much all though it's not helping the situation either. With the mods in your sig with a good track prep, perfect weather, traction, and good driving you should be able to crack the 13's. Trying lowering the psi's in the rear some 32 psi.
