The ol' 2.6 will not pass smog. Im curious if this is a muffler issue or something somewhere else? Re: Strange muffler......

Take a deep breath, place your hand over your mouth, and breath out hard. Repeat. Happy? Neither is your truck's engine. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> HUMMER .25: No need to compensate. 1989 Dodge Raider: 3.0/5 1992 Chrysler LeBaron Convertible: 3.0/A 1994 GMC Safari: 4.3/A Re: Strange muffler......

The strange thing is it will only do it when air filter and housing are on it. When it is off it does fine. I have changed the air filter and made sure all the flaps stay open. I'm so lost.....

There is a filter on the outside of the air filter assimbly coming from the SAS that was totally plugged with carbon build up. The book doesn't even say anything about it being there.....stupid book.
