What would make a Chevy throttle bottle die when you press the gas pedal?
If the engine idles ok but dies when you press the gas pedal, check the operation of the choke and throttle baffles, that the fuel filter is not clogged, and that the fuel pump is operatong correctly. If everything checks out ok, then the problem is emmissions related (possible clogged catalyctic converter, muffler, etc).
Why is there a loud crack crack crack like a stone hitting metal from the back of the car near the exhaust when the engine is turned off and cooling down?
Your hot exhaust is cooling down and the metal is making a ping sound, chances are though, that your exhaust is possibly getting too hot, or has some loose components inside or bolted to it. If your exhaust rattles at all, you may need to replace the muffler, and if you car has a trouble code related to misfire, or catalytic converter there may be too much fuel in the exhaust and is too hot.
What is Texas legal exhaust limit?
If this question is for car of truck exhaust it is up to the discreation of the officer. The law states that the vechicle must have a catalytic converter(if so equipped from the factory) and some type of muffler. You can get away with louder exhaust in a county with no emmisions laws. If a vehicle was originally equipped with a catalytic converter, it must continue to have this critical emissions component. Headers do affect emissions and are regulated by the state. Some are legal, some are not. Flowmaster does not make headers, only mufflers and muffler systems. Flowmaster mufflers are not an emissions related component and are not regulated by law for emissions compliance. With regards to sound, how they are installed, which muffler is used and where the muffler is placed in the system affects the sound and that legality is up to the officer. Flowmaster offers a wide range of mufflers so managing the sound is not a problem, picking the right one can be if proper research is not done. Call an expert for your application. It is not a one size fits all situation.

A motorcycle is required to have a muffler in PA. A set of drag pipes with a baffle is a crude form of a muffler. The only real noise limit is at the discretion of the police, legally, if a cop writes up a disturbing the peace ticket or something related, a judge will probably let it stand.
How do you find the catalytic converter?
The catalytic converter lives in the exhaust system of all cars. Its location is directly related to the year of the vehicle. The older the car, the farther away from the engine it is located. On a lot of new (2014) cars, it is inside the exhaust manifold. It "looks" like a muffler, only smaller. BUT, unlike a muffler, "Most" catalytic converters have information imprinted in the metal that they are made from. As an example, it might say, D-123-45 86006 09 12 The "D" # is an "EO#" issued by the state of California, the 86006 is the actual part # and the 09 12 is the date of manufacture. It could also say "OBD ll Compliant" It can say many things on the converter, and they all mean something, but you will not see any writings like this on a muffler. One word of caution. Doing ANYTHING to a catalytic converter that would affect its performance, is a direct violation of the federal clean air act. Each offence of that act is punishable by 10 years in a federal penitentiary.

It is possible that the hot water hose couplings for the heater are liking and that is why the muffler is rotting. other probable causes: a) squirting water on back water seal b) washing the engine while hot c) driving right after washing engine The problem is water related (to my narrow knowlodge) or if you live near the sea, could be salt related. Remember; heat accelerates corrotion.
