I have my exhaust on , and the left exhaust is always red
and the other one isn’t from the inside . Plus my car
always smells like fuel . Also my car has a delay doesn’t
pick up power till 3 1/2 rpm or 4 and when it gets power it
has a pause then makes a popping sound . All this
happened when I took a fast turn and tried to drift . My
car went left then right out of control . Please Help .

did you hit anything or bounce off something during your rally ? I think you need rear wheel drive to "drift" , take care of the fuel smell first if there's a leak it's just not safe at any speed ,

do you know has the timing belt ever been done on the car , popping from the exhaust is un burnt fuel, a mis fire , check coil, plugs , wires , timing
