hey, where exactly is the fuel filter? richpin's video just says "back of the car, by the rear wheels."

Follow this gentleman's advice and disconnect the exhaust sys at the manifold and see how it runs in the driveway. (you might want to tell your neighbors if any live nearby so that no one has a heart attack when it starts---VERY VERY loud and you'll be revving it. IF it seems ok, a very short test drive getting up in the RPMS should answer the question.

Testing it this way is free and tells you if the problem is indeed exhaust system related
