A GM nightmare

Last night me and a couple other guys went out to our favorite racing spot to shut up a couple of outta town ricers that have been buzzing around lately.

One of ther buddies said he had an IROC that would wipe my Formula, so we told him to go get it.

1 hour later here he comes, I took a peek. 1988 with a 305 TPI / auto. And then I just a bout died...................................

Just under the right side of the bumper, noooooooo

A huge fart can muffler, with a 6 inch tip.

Need I say more?

Nothing like slaughtering a car that has a trash can strapped on the back.

Surely you know better than to take someone like that so badly. You let him come close and just beat him by a hair. Then "Lets go again. Double or nothing."

What I hate is that some people consider crossflow mufflers to expensive. So you see alot of single outs, glasspacks and crap like this.

Ohh unfortunatly 3rd gens have been hit hard by rice feaver... I have seen many with the neon lights under them (grantend they would look cool if the cars weren't v-6 rs with fart cans) also alot of guys are running very low profile tires on them... for a cruising car I have to admit a nice stereo and maybe the neon lights under the car are cool provided you have a nice scoop and a v-8 with some performance... oh yeah lets not forget the body kits and how insainly low some of these cars are being lowered (that alone does not make it rice but with the all of the following it is a ricer wanna be car)

all camaros will still be the best looking cars of all time no matter what som retard thinks is "cool". i have seen some pretty nasty 1st gens with fart pipes on them and they looked nasty as hell. if somebody ever does a rice conversion motor, i will be the first to slap them in the mouth. then i will post it here with pics of the install, and a movie of the slap in the mouth.

whats so wrong with a single out 3" exhaust system?.. flows like a **** AND cleans up the back end of the car IMO. price was nowhere near the determining factor in my decision when searching for exhaust...

I think everyone else knows what I mean't but I was talking about the typical 2 - 2 1/4 out that everyone buys.

Or the $11.29 sound solution from Advance Auto.

As for glasspacks I think everyone considers them a little ghetto.

single out

Single outs may look a little funny but they make more horsepower. Ws6 came with single outs for this reason.

It's all what you're looking for!

peace
