    test pipes

    there aren't many dyno or time sheets to show that a test pipe makes more power than a high quality hiflow cat (random technologies), but it's assumed that the performance edge is given to the test pipe, due to it's design (straight pipe, nothing to hinder flow), whereas the cat has either...

    test pipes

    here there's less leeway. The state crackdown involves running the car with an exhaust sniffer, on camera (checked weekly by inspectors). Not as easy to get around anymore here. But yes, test pipe is best for performance, cat is the only way to pass emissions, hi flow cats are almost...

    Test pipe install Q's

    6pt sockets align correctly to the bolts which are also 6pt, allowing for correct contact areas, and not allowing the socket to spin around on the bolt stripping it, whereas with a 12 pt you have more open space between the bolt and socket, in which the socket can more easily spin on the bolt...

    Test pipe install Q's

    When I put my catback on, a can of liquid wrench and wd40, led to ZERO budge in the rusted bolts. Dremel + Metal cutting attachment = bolts gone for good. 14. They should be 14mm, but years of rust may be allowing you to strip them easily. Just cut them out, as you should replace anyway!

    what do your parents do with you and your car?

    Mom "why are there so many parts i the garage that you don't need?" "what's this one do?" -- "you upgraded it so why is the old one still here" "how many tires/wheels do you need? only 4 go on the car, why do we have 10 in the garage" "what are you doing with that big metal pipe (stock...

    what do your parents do with you and your car?

    Pretty much. If they did try to even consider touching the engine i'ld probably kill them as neither know anything about cars, other than they move. I don't let anyone near the car without me

    I Am an Admitted Nerd (Death to 56K)

    when i saw sailor moon, i was gonna call you on it. then the big letters hit. otherwise evangelion! I must say that's not that much. My buddy's got a basement where every wall is DVD. It's crazy. He's got an anime section. I am more of a "750gb hard drive worth" kind of person since...

    Jerky takeoffs/ ripped slave cyl. boot with 50 miles on it

    yeah, it takes getting used to. One of my coworkers who I trust to drive brought it up with me when I first in stalled my 6 puck. So after alittle I made a bet with him, that if he could do it better first try (this was the 2nd day of having the act 6 puck, hd pp in), ild give him 50 bucks, if...

    When truck drivers suck, they REALLY suck.

    Not as well as you'ld imagine. When you're driving, you have a blindspot in the lane next to you on both sides. His is about 10 times larger than yours. Much of the time spent next to the holding area is invisible to the guy driving. Directly behind him there is zero visibility. In front, your...

    When truck drivers suck, they REALLY suck.

    Alot of the time, they just cannot see you. I'm not saying it's the case, but do you know the visibility of an 18 wheeler? The rule of thumb is if you can see the trucker's eyes, then he is able to see you, otherwise all he sees is truck. So if the road behind was empty, and you were in one...

    any suggestions for a clutch?

    that combo is conservatively rated equal to the hd pp and 6 puck, both at 522ft/lbs torque. While you could run either of these, I'ld bet that they'll wear much faster and be less conducive to transmitting power appropriately. I've got the HD/6puck myself and love it, but at your power level, i...

    any suggestions for a clutch?

    go with the 6 puck and act extreme from ckanderson for that type of power. Engagement is going to be a bit harsh nomatter what when you're at that power level just to make sure the plates stay connected fully, but the ACT kits are quality, and his prices are great

    Best mod to date.

    I barely use the AC (targa ftw), but it's definitely nice to know it's there. Mine works perfectly. Honestly, I think it works better, faster than the AC in my dd civic does, or for that matter, the AC in my mother's BMW.

    Finally watched Boondock Saints last night

    The story on the sequel is that the producers want it, the brothers want it. I believe they're having an issue with the rights belonging to *dont quote* warner bros.

    Top Gear Shooting

    definitely not. there is less recoil because of the blow back, but there shouldn't be zero gun movement. You've gotta be insanely strong to launch a rocket, and keep the launcher perfectly still.
