How to put an aftermarket exhaust on a car?

Cut exhaust off car , put glasspecks on, car has not stopped shaking? o2 sensor? 2001 ford escort?

  • my car is a 2001 ford escort, my service engine light is on, is it not geting the right intake? is it just the sensor?

  • Answer:

    I'm sure the car was fine before you put the glasspacks on? If so then more than likely you have an exhaust leak which is causing the 02 sensor to misread which is giving you the light which then could cause the car to misfire cauing the car to shake. Quick test when the car is in park and running on idle go out and put your hand near the tailpipe, it should feel like a constant pressure if you feel pressure for a bit then a break then pressure again you def have a leak.

You will need O2 sensor installed as well as catalyst converter for this car to run right.
