What happens when I break my exhaust and have a rough weekend

[spongemonster]

Well no one will care about my weekend but I need to ask a favour and get someone to host a nice video for me. I can send it any way that is convenient.

Thanks

This is pre-broken exhaust

[romantt8]

the broken exhaust sounds sweet. Alot different from when my 8v was running just a DP.

[djecko]

The car actually sounds pretty sweet to my suprise. Both with exhaust and without. what exhaust were you running?

[PRVersion]

intermittant O2 gage?

[spongemonster]

Rev limiter (6800 rpm in a 16v) the O2 gauge actually is reading fine since it is ahead of the resonator. Oh and my exhaust is normally a resonator where the cat should be, another resonator in place of the stock one and a stainless steel adjustable baffle muffler. The intake is custom aluminum (intake roar hehehe).

That thing sounds like a chainsaw on crack at higher revs sans the resonator!
I always thought the 16V rev limiter was ~6500, but I never shifted the few I have driven past mid 6. I guess that I have a built in boosted 8V driver fear of horrible things happening up there such as undetectable ping in boost or insane 8V valve float. All that banging the rev limiter up there sounds insane, and beautiful in its own right.

Like that rev limiter?

I think the exahust fell off because of the ridiculous wing.

[spongemonster]

Well I will take the wing comment as a joke. To be honest that is coming off once summer hits. I really do tire of constant jokes about something that is different. If we all bent to the whims of the few we'd all drive stock looking volvos on volvo rims dragging the door sills in the dirt.

To be honest you do have an opinion and as such are entitled to it but unless something is constructive and not meant in a hurtful way, then please do keep it to yourself.

This is in no way meant to be a flame war I'd just like to see people be a little friendlier and more accountable for their actions. If you are joking then please do us all a favour and make it obvious.

Nice burnout session James!! Car sounds great with the exhaust, and badass without.

[spongemonster]

Yeah I got it welded up and now it is so quiet lol. I'm gonna have to open the baffles again hehehehe (thanks too eh)

[/pansy]? no offense man, but i thought it was pretty obviously good-natured joking.

in all fairness i didn't really even notice the wing haha.

*edit*

upon closer inspection, there is in fact a wing. what's it off of? it doesn't really look out of place...

[spongemonster]

Hahaha that's what happens when I am tired and freaking out about my exhaust cause I'm broke and work full time and have no time to get it fixed. To be honest I've just got to get used to ribbing about thing like graphics and spoilers. Meh what can ya do.

[F1reBird]

nice.. sounded like my brick on strait DP..ahha.. what kind of headlights do you have..those are friggin BRIGHT:)

[badvlvo]

Leave it off. It sounds better.

[bluehat42]

That huge tach and shift light is a bit ricey

nice souding car though

[spongemonster]

Hahaha oo ricey. I prefer swedish meatbally. The stock tach wasn't enough to stop me from hitting rev limiter in first altogether too often while driving. The shift light helps a lot when you have a 4.10 rear end and an engine that likes to sing.

Hahah you wouldn't tell me to leave it off if you knew how horribly loud it was.

[klr142]

So, does that have a LSD? Cause that was one PIMP burnout session! Sweet man!

[spongemonster]

Detroit EZ-Locker hehehe

[klr142]

Sweet, you lucky lucky bum! I'll have something along those lines someday... But with my 225s I still won't be able to burn them like that with my 8v NA and Auto! Maybe when I go turbo though... Sweetness!

[spongemonster]

You'd be suprised. That's a N/A 16 v with a slipping clutch.
