    Idle decreases when wheel turns???

    This one is a little odd to me.... I was stopped at a red light with my brake depressed and the engine was idling around 800rpm. I turned the wheel maybe 90 degrees and the idle went down to around 550-600rpm just for a second then went to 900rpm for two seconds or so and back down to 800rpm...

    Is it normal to have this wavyness in the resonator? I'm assuming this is where it was welded. The car is a 2001 w/ 105,000 miles. Both mufflers are shot as they started opening up on the seams. How does the overall condition look? I can't seem to upload a pic. Will try again later.
