ud better.lol. I dnt wanna pay 350 just to go wingless.lol.

 

no he said all the shops said it was illegal i dont know anything about exhaust ill see exactly what he wants to do btw his car is SC

 

If you're talking about the downpipe then yes, it is illegal and most reputable exhaust shops will not risk getting caught removing the catalytic converter. They can face potentially huge fines and have the possibility of getting their shop shut down for a certain amount of time if caught removing an emissions control device. Most shops won't even install an aftermarket downpipe that has uses an aftermarket high flow cat because that also is against the law to remove the stock cat if the car is still under factory emission system warranty. If he really wants to install one then he'll need to buy one online (more than likely from a company out of state) and then install it by him self or maybe find another owner or someone to give him a hand.

 

whoa E...lol where did u come from haha how have u been

 

Yea IMO strait pipe on a ss/sc sounds like **** but thats just me.Technically an exhaust with no mufflers is also illegal if he is in fact talking about the exhust and not dp. You will have to find an exhaust shop who dnt give a ****.lol

 

Really busy with work. Getting ready to head "overseas" to a little "sandbox" for a few months.



I'm not a big fan either. It might be worth a few hp across the curve, but on a street driven four-banger you end up with an annoying, loud amount of noise more than anything. But you sure can have an exhaust without mufflers such as if you have a resonator or a turbo (which the Federal government considers a muffler by the way), but here in California you'll more than likely push the noise limit without one. Even if you have a car that squeaks under the decibel limit without a muffler you're sure to get a lot of extra attention from people with ticket books that can make your life less fun and cost you time and money to prove it's legal.

 

oh really dam..well be careful man and when will u be back

 

i know all about that.lol

 

Meet pics are up in the thread, someone should use them to make their own thread.

 

i has an exahust shop that will do it

could you pm me the number so i can give it to my friend?

also on another note im freakin excited i found a dealer in pasadena that will work with me on getting my camaro and will except my gm discount woohoo

 

My dad drove my truck back down to SoCal and "something" happened to get attached to the rear of it about mid way down here.

 

What's that "something"?

And did you ever get the chance to post the pics you took from the Speedway?

 

Thanks for the reminder. I ran across the speedway pics the other day but didn't get a chance to upload them. I'll try to get a batch of them posted in the next day or two when I can find a spare five minutes in my schedule.

That something is another W41 Quad 4-powered car, or more specifically one of these ( <-- youtube vid). There's also a nice overview article at this link. Not many people remember that nearly twenty years ago GM built a naturally-aspirated, 190hp four-banger that also had a good amount of torque.

I bought this car as a replacement daily driver for the Fiero which will probably get sold. Once I get back from overseas I can hopefully pick up another house closer to where I'm working and drive the Cobalt and Focus a little more often.

 

the shop is in ontario,cali

Anyone know any Socal shops that do water meth injection? Like installing it and etccc.

 

It's pretty easy, what kit did you get?

 

a cave man can do it ^_^

 

Haven't bought a kit yet but was just heavily considering it lol. Was looking at Drag times and a Solstice GXP ran a 12.0 1/4 mile with the stock turbo, water meth injection, hptuners, magnaflow exhaust. So sort of makes me want to get it for my GXP.

I know the guy is a tuner himself but seems like Water Meth would rape lol.

 

depends on the mix and how aggressive the tune is

 

methanol/water injection is fantastic.

as much as they battle and disagree, if you can figure out who knows what they're talking about and who doesn't, then read between the lines, you can learn a lot in threads like this:

if ur **** doesnt run out mid WOT.

it's the only thing i'm scared of with water/meth.

 

5galon tank =p

if there is a tank you can mount above
the trunk ceiling strap it up and not make the
back droop it would save space on the floor sspace
to fill it up will be the pain because you have to unstrap it and
fill it.

 

y not install a guage in the h20/meth tank...then u will always know how much u have left
