Bad muffler? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

OK this is going to sound dumb,stupid,idiotic,not possible and I'm sure alot of other things but I swear my right muffler is bad. Sometimes it will backfire from the right side only. It sounds like decel popping but more high-pitched. I posted that I thought it might be having 92 gas in it when tuned for 93, but the concensus was this wouldn't be a problem. Happened on and off for about a weeks then was gone for about 2 weeks, but just the other day it has started again. Another odd thing is it happens alot when I go over a bump but also happens when I'm on a smooth road. I checked underneath the car and I didn't see or feel anything loose. So for now I have no clue what this could be.

one of my mufflers used to vibrate at a certain rpm so i took it to the dealer and they basically replaced the whole exhaust

You have an exhaust leak on that side. Tighten up the connections on that side and it will go away.

I know this from experience.
