Arrow missfire?

i got another question for you guys. my car has been kind of misfiring. ive got tru

dual exaust so i can tell it just one of the rotors. its pulse isnt steady like the

other one and it pushes way harder and cooler than the other one. i thought

maybe it was time to change spark plugs but it that didn't change much of

anything. i also smell gas sometimes. ive got a new fuel filter so i'm gonna change

that today when i get off of work but wanted to see what yall might know. thanks

in advance.

If you smell gas then you need to park your car until you find the leak. Leaking fuel injectors and/or pulsation dampers have been responsible for fires in FC's. On S4 models the pulsation dampers are known to fail pretty regularly. Search for banjo bolt mods that can be done to address this issue.

Your "true dual" setup I would guess really isn't "true dual" anymore than the turbo II's have 2 turbos. If your setup has a Y-pipe to the mufflers then that's a sure sign that it's not truely dual, so watching each muffler for differences in rotor housings is pointless.
