March 9, 201016 yr Terrys Auto in Clive did such a good job fixing my rusted out pipe and broken exhaust studs that they made it quiet. So dam quiet that i no longer scare little children on the side of the road. NO longer will little old ladys quiver in fear next to me at a stoplight. I will no longer have the rally style wow factor as i blast buy people in traffic. It so quiet i can hear all the other problems the engine and the wheel bearing are having. Its a sad sad day.

March 9, 201016 yr as a board member once told me. turn up the radio. that was because i complained about the tick of death. and here i though my flat four was turning into a desiel.
March 9, 201016 yr Poor car, it can't roar at other people anymore... I know that my BRAT feels the same way. Unfortunately the wheel bearing that took the place of the exhaust noise gave up as well, so its currently without a roar Hope your car gets its roar back (or maybe not) Twitch
March 9, 201016 yr Put one of Scott's urban assault bumpers on the front along with a set of sharpened Texas Longhorn horns on the hood. You'll scatter some people. Edited March 9, 201016 yr by ettev

March 9, 201016 yr Here ya' go............better yet!! In addition to my previous idea get one of these and throw it on. zzz:Flame: I remember seeing these things years ago and wasn't sure if they were still made. But.....J C Whitney to the rescue. The home of everything Rube Goldberg! Be sure to read the "Overview". Classic! http://www.jcwhitney.com/cast-iron-exhaust-cutout/p2006307.jcwx
March 9, 201016 yr Maybe with the free plug you gave the shop they could hook you up on a deal fixing the wheel bearings and engine issues
March 10, 201016 yr Funny. Like this? That's perfect. I'm picturing you stopped at a red light and having people cross the street in front of this baby! Can you say "photo op"?
March 11, 201016 yr Yeah I had the same problem with Superior Subaru in Burien, WA. it went in for a valve adjustment. Came out with a loud wheel bearing... and a fixed exhaust... a couple days later I took it back for the wheel bearing.
March 14, 201016 yr That's perfect. I'm picturing you stopped at a red light and having people cross the street in front of this baby! Can you say "photo op"? LOL. I have a friend who used to have a goat skull and a rubber aligator on the hood of his landcruiser... someone pulled out in front of him and that's what they saw coming in their side window when he couldn't stop in time...
March 15, 201016 yr i had the same problem, new exhaust, quiet car. cant hear my turbo nearly as much, lol, and it no longer sounds like a tractor on the plus side, my exhaust tip is tasteful and stock looking
March 15, 201016 yr as a board member once told me. turn up the radio. that was because i complained about the tick of death.and here i though my flat four was turning into a desiel. SING IT BROTHER
