Exhaust

[Jakescoots]

I've got an 04 GT and I was wondering if that piece of pipe in the middle that is expanded some is the resonator

 

[benner]

yes

 

[blueguy]

and DON'T REMOVE IT.

 

[bstuby]

Or it will sound like ass

 

[benner]

Unless you like the sound of ass. Then remove it

 

[Jakescoots]

So I removed it to see if I could hear what it sounded like when the engine shutters and it makes a popping, and it has a random pop every once in a while. I feel like there could be a miss, and also it sometimes almost stalls out when I stop. Could this be a problem with the alternator?

If you've got a random miss/pop removing the exhaust is only going to make it more noticeable, not help diagnose anything.

Check your plugs/wires, easiest thing to do to tell if theres a bad miss.

 

[blueguy]

Is there a check engine light?

 

[Jakescoots]

yeah, but when I got it read it says O2 sensor, my abs and trac are on too

I was running open DP and my car was just backfiring without missing. No Engine lights or anything.
