On my old FC I passed some jack *** in a Cherokee, quite calmly too. I was just cruising in 5th and then as I'm passing him he hits the pedall too. WTF? so I give it full throttle and then ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, I hit fuel cut. No blown engine luckily but the guy is still a jack ***. Sorry, a little off topic, continue...

Wait are you guys saying that a full racing beat exhaust (header, silencer, cat back) could blow my engine???

mine hasn't blown and i've had it for almost a year now. you just have to be smart about it. buy an aftermarket boost gauge so you can monitor how much boost you are pushing. keep any creep below 12 and watch the 2-gear downshifts (which really cause major creep) and you should be fine.

Although mine's an N/A ... does that mean there's pretty much nothing to worry about?
