Re: my ride idling

Re: my ride idling

Sounds mean! How many miles on it before the head/ cam swap? Any problems yet? Good luck with it.

Re: my ride idling

I mean they look far away from the bumper, I like them closer to it is all.

Re: my ride idling

<shurg> I've seen a 3rd gen with the pipes low like that, mine are almost right upto the bumper, same with my friends. Just my preference, if you like it don't listen to me !

tips will be moved closer since it does look stupid now, only problem is how hot the exhaust gets and will melt the fiber!

Re: my ride idling

Your car sounds good!



IMHO, having your tailpipes low makes it appear as though an exhaust hanger has broken. I have my Hooker tips positioned close to the bumper and the heat isn't an issue.

I'm attempting to fix it today, I think it got low because I never readjusted the pipes. That idle is @1000 due to my car being cold, otherwise it idles at 950 and is a lot lopier, I will repost another video this week of it, maybe a smoky burnout as well

Re: my ride idling

I know Mass has an emissions program so what is your plan on passing it? Because that cam doesn't sound like it would pass the sniffer.

Re: my ride idling

bastard



Sounds real good, but you definitely have to fix those tail pipes. That is 1 think I like about the T/As, the rear bumpers have 2 cutouts for the tail pipes
