Hey /o/ I'm looking to remove the cat and 2.25" Y pipe on my 1984 vette. My question is will the side pipes be the same horsepower gain as the H pipe? Also could people burn themselves when they get out of the car and touch the side pipes? Not looking for headers or an X pipe since most shops around here do not know how to make an X.
lmfao who cares whatever exhaust you put on it won't stop it from being a slow piece of shit

Nah miles wont kill my yota the fucking salt will. Thank christ I am moving south where I can keep her forever.

Better hope it hasn't started yet. South won't save it if you've got deep set rust already without grinding it off.
This is my daily. I got it back in March and it has given me nothing but issues. Wanted to share since it's working well now and I just did some upgrades today. It's a 2007 Outback base model with a 5 speed. Black on black, no awful 2 tone like most of them.
Here's what I've done in the past week:
Yellow fogs (lamin-x and bulbs)
OEM rubber mats
215/65 Yokohama Geolandar ATS
Newer OEM Impreza steelies (came with awful 5 spoke steelies)
Subtle Solutions 1" lift
Don't really have more plans since it's my daily and...

Before
You know, not bad.
>implying 2-tone isnt god tier
how bad is maintenance on a porsche 944? is it like any other porsche where you basically need to be willing to pay double the price of the car to afford owning it?
like, is it a million dollars to replace some pump? will i be living in my car? i mean it looks so nice and i like the features it has...fug ;-;
you better have a big bank account to take care of it or else It will sit in your driveway on cinderblocks
>>13939699
what if i just buy two for really cheap and use one for parts
Its as reliable as you can expect from a car that age, but you -will- be paying rape for parts
>>13939713
Then you'll have TWO that are total junk instead of just one. You shouldn't buy a cheap clapped out one unless you're prepared to spend twice that before year's end.
Wat do?
set it on fire
is that some kind of new faggot jdm trend ?
story?
did you puke in your car or something?
My crappy ford freestyle died on me today after 6 years, I have 2 days to find a new car.
What would /o/ suggest I do with $2,000 saved up and damn good credit?
What should I buy? No particular budget in mind and I live in Socal, commute up to 40-50 miles per day.
they charge for mileage and will rape you on it
>>13939627
what do you mean?
>>13939438
Buy a Fiesta, be done with it. ST for fun, base model for basic commuter.
I fucking hate Traction control. It's pointless and people who say it helps in the snow / ice are dumb. I live in Montana, and Traction control just seems to cause nothing but trouble. I can't disable it without disabling the ABS (Which IS nice to have on snow / ice)
What's the point? Especially on your basic car.
>>13939437
Pull the fuse for it. Or disable whatever method it uses to cut throttle.
saves tires
helps in the rain
>>13939437
Where i come from it is referred to as "death control" because it allows you to lose the arse end of your car then cuts all of the power from you causing the car to spin out when if there was no traction control you could have saved it and done a mad drift in the process.
Ok /o/, Bimmer memes are catching up to haunt me and I need to sell my 3-series fast before it's too cost prohibitive.
What shitbox should I get to replace it?
need something small that can handle in the city well.
Considering a Fiero or a Miata.
Let me know how stupid I am.

Every car was FF. Poor reliability. Odd styling.
>GM
>>13939341
FF isnt a problem kiddie
Honda is doing fine
Shitty build quality
Outlandish designs with exacerbated mechanical issues.
General Motors.

If you like fast cars but don't own at least one sports bike then you're a fucking retard.
Except that some people are just too broke to afford one.
>>13939155
Also they're really really fast so you're either not riding anywhere near the bike's potential so you've just wasted $8000, or you ride like a jackass on public roads racking up tickets and pissing off every other person on the road but you got your money's worth.
Shitboxes are loved by /o/. We like to say they have character. We beat them to hell, and they somehow still go another 50k miles. When brand new with 4 miles on the odometer, we smugly donned these vehicles "econoboxes". But they matured, such as a fine wine does. They surived to 300k miles with minimal repairs. Just like a soldier earns the Purple Heart, our "econoboxes" earned their reputation as the "shitbox". There are a few cars that will always be known as great little shitboxes: the Toyota Corolla, our beloved Twingo, and America's...
