Perfect example of what not to do.
Great looking K5 Blazer in today for a fully custom 2.5 exhaust.
After removing the old system you can see the lack of quality someone put into installing the last system.
What you are seeing is light poking through the welded joint with a flash light inserted into the pipe.
This was right next to the O2 b**g for the Holley Termintor system. This causes lots of issues including tuning the system properly, fuel trim issues, loss of mileage, poor driveability etc.
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen people give up on aftermarket EFI because of poor installations like this. The system needs to be air tight to work as designed!
Quality takes time to be done right, this is what we pride ourselves in.
Unfortunately this is the kind of quality you get from most “muffler shops” that are just there to get’em in and get’em out.
