THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At the risk of perhaps being seen as a curmudgeon, did you notice that the people interviewed/referred to appear to be — to me, at least — the same sort of drivers who have already been irritating people with the obnoxious subwoofers, not to mention jumping on all the latest gimmicks like the ridiculous tailfins/spoilers, the dubious ground effects packages, the funky lighting effects, and the oversized rims?

I will say one thing. Someone moves into my neighborhood with something like that, I guarantee that whistle will last about a week at most. Most people are sound asleep around 3:30 AM and it's awfully dark that early in the morning. On top of that I have a long extension cord, a small arc welder, and I know how to use it. Anything that someone welded in can also be removed....or get something else welded in there with it. Can you say "excessive backpressure?"

Play all the audio samples at once for good fun!!

True dat, but doesn't enough excessive backpressure keep the exhaust from getting clear of the engine? The motor runs rough, and could eventually choke itself out on its own wastes; either that, or because the engine is working so hard to clear itself of the exhaust gases the mileage goes right down the dumper. That's the principle behind the 'potato in the tailpipe' prank.

anymore what with the use of cheap "Plastic" timing belts it would most likely blow it apart.
This happened to me in my Pontiac J2000 when the catalytic converter plugged, The back pressure
blew the timing chain apart.
