I've been working on an 05 GT which is having a weird issue of bogging down for a little every now and then. When you accelerate smoothly & drive at the same speed it's fine. When you are on & off the gas it hesitates, sounds weird, & loses a little power for a few seconds. No engine light, no codes, or misfires. Spark and fuel don't seem to be an issue and I sometimes hear strange sounds from underneath the car intermittently. Ran a smoke test with low psi and saw exhaust leaking from all 4 clamps. Is this enough to cause such a big performance issue? Also, clamps are all very tight, would replacing them even do anything?
Clamps in the front, connected to headers, are way worse the the clamps near the axle. Luckily there are no leaks where the headers connect to the engine!
Thanks for any tips.
