Ain't that the truth. I think these motors are bi-polar, just a little

why??/ havent you ever driven open down pipe...it might be "illegal" but its only a 50 dolalr ticket around here...or maby 25...either way just a slap on the wriste...and they can only ticket you once for it in the same day... i would still get an exhaust...im jsut saying if you dont get around to it by this weekend it shouldnt be the kill joy of going with your car or not...

Its california man. They dont stand for that shizen. Not a slap on the wrist, but an impound and lots of hassle and harrasment. Plus, that thing is screams at 2k with the open down pipe, let alone freeway speeds

$25 fine??? Where do you live. My friend may be losing his license for a similiar offense. And congradualtions on getting your car running, it must feel pretty good. Your car sounds pretty nice.. do you have any pictures of it to post???
