Im busting your chops, relax, are you having another emotional day where you think im picking on you?

Bonzai offered his product back when this post started, for $30 its a GREAT deal, have a shop make you a pipe for the first 2 converters, leaving the main on there they shouldnt mind, then use his pipe. Others including myself have offered help as well so dont feel like we are making fun, or rather that I am making fun. Maybe I should just steer clear of replying to you if you think I am getting on your case deal?

A guru I am farrrrrr from a guru, never claimed to be one, but I can tell you the noise of that engine with no cats wears on your nerves after a while! Although I never heard one with no cats and stock mufflers. :bigthumg:

I guess so. A really bad day.. I'm actually snapping at everyone, I've noticed... sorry.

Well.. I understand that... but I don't think the exshaust shop will EVEN make a pipe, period. That's what they said anyway......



So.. if an exhaust shop can make me a pipe (1st 2 convertors are the precats correct?) ... then when/if I get his, I put his pipe where the main cat is?



Ugh. I thought this would be easy, why am I confused?

Understand. Like I said, I'm sorry. I'm just having a bad day, and putting it on everyone, I guess.





I don't think the nosie will be bothersome. Before I even got my car, well, I take that back. Before I had a license, I've always wanted to be a "ricegirl" you should say. I hung around them all the time, and thought their cars were cool, esp. the fart pipe noise. But anyway, it won't bother me, I like it... and no.... there will be no stock mufflers on, if I go through with this.

Update:



I might have found someone to beable to make me a straight pipe.



I ran into a guy who owns a red 1st gen here in Pcola. He drags his car - everything on/about his car is mostly set up for drag. Ahh.. NICE car, I might add.



He said he knows a guy in Pcola that works on rx-7s in his backyard. Said they'll make me a straight pipe for "race purposes" only and adding the mufflers (i'm gonna do two instead of once, since one on an FC imo looks gay) the total will be *about* $200. Maybe less.



Word. Now.. I just gotta find the freakin' card the guy gave me :(

you said you need money / job, why don't you go fill out an application at the local muffler/brake shop. Not only will you make some cash being the shop slave, you'll aslo get access to a MIG welder, oxy-ascetaline torch (if it's a decent shop), pipe bender, lathe, pipes, compressed air, and lifts. Then you could just do the exhaust yourself.

christi 10-29-2002 03:55 PM

Because I already asked that. You've gotta go to school of some sort in order to work at a exhaust/muffler shop. You've got to have some kinda mech. degree of some sort, or I would have done that already.

christi 10-29-2002 03:56 PM

Baldy - I'll do that.

pengaru 10-29-2002 04:18 PM

Bullshit, I worked at a muffler shop (CarX) then I worked for v8archie.com, no degree or anything. You especially don't need **** to be the shop slave, cleaning and just doing oil changes, over time you learn enough to do brakes and exhaust etc and accumulate tools from the crack dealer, er I mean the snap-on truck. If you show up on time and can turn a wrench, you can work at a muffler shop. They usually only have like one or two ASE certified mechanics just so they can keep that ASE sign in the door. Those places can't afford to have a handful of qualified professionals on hand every day, doing oil changes and brake pads... those guys go work for dealerships, or start their own shop.
