Veedub people start the most retarded trends so who the hell knows. Sad part is we'll probably see those stickers on Hondas and Nissans in a year or two. Also, those star tail pipes are awesome and nothing Bozu can do any wrong

Americans focus on performance mods that actually ruin the performance of their car in most cases, and Bozu is just like. "gently caress it. This is a Honda Civic. It will only ever have 120HP. Why make it look fast when it can be fabulous instead?"

My favorite bosu mod is installing a rev limiter that's set at something stupid low (like 3000-4000 rpm) and then riding the fuel cut through a town. Absolutely stupid for performance but a combination of a great gag and an incredibly annoying disturbance for everyone around.

Try holding your RPM at maximum and seeing what happens. Basically you bounce between hitting the max and dropping a little.

You can vary the revs and the cutoff speed manually. For instance, you can get the normal high-rev "BAPAPAPAPA" sort of limiter you hear in racing, especially rallying. OR, you can make massive backfires or anything inbetween: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lreq00KsXUM The one at 3:20 is particularly good.

There is a Tune out there for a first gen RX-8, that limits the revs to 2,000 (might get you 10mph in first gear). It is officially known as "Valet mode"

I love my Bandit for this as well. It's carbed, so naturally it's an ignition cut only, and the exhaust is completely open, just a straight-through slip-on with absolutely no wadding left. Banging on the 12K RPM revlimiter produces nice flames in addition to plenty of noise. It's wonderfully obnoxious.

I'm glad I'm not the only one, except the only mod I had to do to set off car alarms by goosing the throttle then releasing it (braaaaaaaaaAAAAPOP! BANG  ) was cut off the stock muffler and tailpipe and replace them with a cherry bomb and a turndown.Then the cat barfed out all its contents into the cherry bomb after I dragged it over a rock ledge or three and I shook it all out and kept going. Fireballs and explosions got even better.

It had J tubes and the larger diameter thunderbird exhaust with the not for road use glasspack and the flared exhaust tip. It'd do the exact same thing. Every time I decelerated it'd do a hell of a bang. It was a good kick to the back of the seat and at night it'd light my surrounding up with a blue flash. Exhausts on that car were perma-damaged and the bottom of the collector, muffler (baffle?) and tailpipe were always smashed flat with nice big scrapes on them because of the ride height. It was rusty and the whole car was built out of totally mismatched parts but it was my all time favourite car.

My Protege would pop real easy after I put the Corksport exhaust on it. Still does it occasionally with the slightly leaner map I run these days, but when I first installed it the stock tune was so rich you could do it on demand from cruising by lifting throttle and coasting for a few seconds (to mix some air in with the unburnt fuel) then goosing the throttle. I got a few angry glares back then.

The best bit about having a relatively plain vehicle with a loud obnoxious exhaust is pulling up at a light with a ricey hatchback between you and a police car. Just give it some good revs and watch the cops give the look of death to the spotty yoofs in the Saxo.

A friend of mine had some old BMW that if you rev'd it hard then immediately turned it off, it would sit for a good 30-60 seconds then let out the largest most explosive backfire I have ever heard. It was awesome, rev it, get out, walk away, watch people poo poo their pants.

I pulled up next to an idiot in a Polo at the lights a while ago, he revved his engine at me. I revved mine to the 4,000rpm limiter and he realised the big wagon wouldn't lose to his 1.4 Polo. It felt good, it felt even better rolling easy in first then flooring it in second with traction. Bye bye Polo!

You guys must be new to this. My rotary friends will tell you nothing, absolutely nothing, is louder and more ear-piercing at three in the morning than a built turbo rotary with open exhaust. Doesn't matter if it's 400 or 1,000 horsepower. It's just obscene.

My new muffler is pretty much broken in, so sometimes on the way to work at nights, I'll let it out a bit on the highway. Last week, I pulled fairly hard from a stoplight and got a nice * burble*pop*. I wish it was louder, but VA has some pretty stupid laws and it's a Grand Cherokee with a 4.7, not exactly a hot rod. I still have fun though, feeling fast.

I'd like it, but the whole front end forward of the A pillar looks like it's been raised about 4 inches so the proportions are just hosed. Smooth it out and get some decent wheels and it'd probably look awesome though.

One of my dad's friends used to drive an old 320i. One day, he couldn't start the car for some reason, it just wouldn't catch. So he cranked it for like a minute before it finally started with the biggest backfire I have every heard, louder than a gunshot. But the car ran fine and he drove home. He came back an hour later with the rotor from the distributor, it was almost non-existant. How the hell he got that car started, I have no idea. some texas redneck posted:The original owner of my F-150 had installed their version of an anti theft system - a switch under the dash that cut power to the coil. That's exactly what the killswitch on a carbed motorcycle does. I've had a lot of fun doing that. Haven't been able to blow off the can yet, though.

It was an 80 (mid 79 build date, so a very early 80), 351M, 2 bbl carb. By the time I got out of high school, the "exhaust" was a series of flex pipes, clamps, vice grips, and a glass pack behind the Y-pipe. I blew apart more than my share of exhaust systems with that thing.

When I kill my Enfield motorcycle with the killswitch instead of hitting the carb fuel, five to ten seconds after I turn it off there is a massive, deep "BWOOMP/BANG" combo inside the echo chamber exhaust pipe.
