I went in the other day to the exhaust shop to see what it would take to replace the pipe from the muffler back, with the resonator. I ended up eliminating the resonator and just going straight from the muffler back. a little deeper sound a little louder, not much. I LIKEY 
while they were under there they found a exhaust manifold leak. I thought well if i want it done right ill let them do it. glad i did.
all the bolts they didnt break (3 broken) were bent ~ they got it all back together, 4 hrs later, and sounds much better. no more tick, tick, tick.
after the vehicle warmed up, it ran like crap. no power, idle was rough, the stink of the new gasket. i thought o boy, now what.
it was to late last night to really look around and see if anything was unplugged. so this morning i went out and took a good long look.
1 unplugged plug wire. they had forgotten to reconnect it and now that i reconnected it it runs just like it does when i bought it
