    So I removed my rotted out muffler and went straight pipes. I know it's illegal. My issue is now at cruising speed with very little throttle input( 10% maybe) I have a missing sound. Honestly it sounds like a Huey helicopter flying close by. Best way I can describe it. Also when under power loaded at full boost it smokes slightly erratically. Do you guys or gals think it's a bad injector? Thanks

    Could be, roll it into your favorite shop and have em hook it up on the computer, it could be a bad injector, could be it needs the overhead run

    That's how I check them on a mechanical engine. I know the jakes are weak. That leads me to believe the overhead needs to be run. I'm going to search that
