Who cares? A leaking exaust wont do damage but it still sounds like crap, so do these motors with the piston slap.

The problems so far have been piston slap, oil consumption, and you CANNOT get 100% throttle with the 8.1L unless the computer thinks its towing somthing. Unloaded it just will not happen.
