Re: persistent backfire popping at deceleration


Leon Korkin
 

It is widely available at most muffler shops and their website is very good.They
have
distributor shop search in all areas based on zip code.As far as i remember in
one shop they were selling 17724 for ab. $75 but you can call around for best
deal
Good luck
