Re: Exhaust problem

fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, MAF sensor, MAP, sensor, any one of 650 wire harnesses corroded

Probably not exhaust. Might be cats, but if its falling flat on its face, you would probably already have noticed holes melted in your carpet from the cats being so hot. Could be O2 sensors, but they would have given you a check engine light... or should have depending on what year you have.

what year car are you running?
my friend had a problem with this, he had an older monte carlo, his problem was that his carb was feeding too much gas into his engine when he slammed on it. He fitted lower flowing carb on there and his problem was fixed.
