I also heard that if you polish your tailpipes it makes them flow so much better

Kanuter*, but I've actually heard if you add a second one, that you relieve the stress on the first one which then helps bypass any back pressure caused.

I'm glad you guys like it. I STILL get a kick out of it.

There's two ways to look at this: The dude really did it, and in that case it serves him right. The dude made it all up, and in that case someone sign him to work on a comedy TV show as a writer heh

In all honestly, I'm thinking more the former than the latter :S

And screw porting out valves, I'm just going to not RUN valves!!! I'll think of some way to make that work... just you wait! >_>

(Actually, as sad as that idea is, making that work, and work better than current intake and exhaust setups wouldn't be that hard to design! I have way too many crazy ideas, that if I had a way to make a prototype, I honestly think most of them would work out heh)

On my mac scanner it is code 81. The ABS inop light will flash at me and not stop until I clear the code. The hatch release button stopped working...I can hear it clicking under the dash but it wont pop the trunk, anyone have an idea on how to repair this one also? thanks.

Unless you get that converted to a GM DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code), I can't really help :\ Then again, you have a 93, so it might not be the 4 digit ones PCM's give out.

All I dug up was this heh
