Hi all, Something has shown up since getting the new muffler installed. I have noticed that after gearing down preparing to turn that (backfiring) putt putts happen. Then when turned and accelerating again there is a large amount of blue exhaust sometimes with a small backfire. 1.) The backfire is coming from rear of car. Did not backfire before muffler addition. When gearing down, if I rev the engine some, little putt putts happen. 2.) Don't know if the gearing down makes it worse. I think it does.

As a new muffler was being installed, muffler man noticed the bolt and bushing missing from the rear lower control arm. He advised me to get it fixed soon as it was dangerous to drive that way.
