Did your friend also tell you that taking all the air out of your tires will make the car faster

This guy can either learn from the right people, or just put gas in and drive

I heard that if you take all your gasoline out and pour wet concrete in, the engine runs a lot smoother.

Throw a sensor off? I dont think so.
Im not sure exactly what it does, but it will affect the performance of the car.
I have a 3100 SFI vehicle, I had a shop install a fart can in a classy style- done professionaly
Anyways, the car still gets good gas mileage, sounds mean, but its noticeably slower than before. Ive been told its because I no longer have any back pressure... Dunno, dont care... But I can say without a DOUBT there was a difference in performance for the worse

its not backpressure, thats a myth started by hot rodders who didn't know any better
its velocity vs. flow |

Well the muffler that was on it had a hole in it. I got the muffler for $36, so hey, no big deal really.
It doesnt sound anywhere near them naty loud bee sounding cars. Actually it just gives it a tad bit more grow.
Also, whatever you want to call it. Adding that muffler vs a stock replacement was a MISTAKE. The already slow car got slower... And thats no bs myth, experienced first hand.
