Am I a ricer now?

[edro]

My '92 Honda Civic has 242,000 miles on her...... and she still runs good. Burns about a quart of oil between changes.....

A few days ago, I noticed my exhaust sounded loud. A few days later, and it is real loud. I checked under it while it was running, and the sound is coming out from where the catalytic converter connects. It looks fine, but I could feel air spraying out........

I will prolly weld it this weekend when I go home with my dad's mig welder.......... BUT

I LOVE THE SOUND! I find myself popping it in neutral just to rev it up while driving through town!

haha..... Who ever thought an exhaust leak would be so much fun?

Doesn't it make sporadic farting noises? if so, then yes, you are a ricer.

too bad you might not pass inspection?

I tore the exhaust off of and put a 9 foot wide barrel on the end to make the sound even louder.. am I a ricer?

nah. ya go to an independently owned firestone or some privately owned local grease shop. I went to exxon for my inspection and the guy didn't check sh*t.

If you don't have it fixed, then yes you are a ricer. If you plan on getting it fixed, you are just lazy

Sounds like your flex pipe rusted out. Check for a woven area of the exhaust before the cat and after the exhaust manifold.

yep, you're a ricer.

you are not a true ricer... yet...

do you have a rear wing that can also be used to push shopping carts?
- is your wing higher than the roof of your car?
- does your wing have wings?
do you have miscellaneous stickers from other cars or racing teams?
have you lowered your car to 1mm off the pavement?

If you have not done these things.. you are not a ricer.

Doesn't the smell give you a headache?

Don't forget the ugly-ass body kit (aren't they all???)

If your looks like these, then you are a ricer.

Hey, thats not rice, thats intelligence!

1) You need a huge rear wing on the rear of your FWD car because downforce on the rear of a FWD car is better.
2) Because your wing puts downforce down where it is needed on a FWD car, ON THE BACK, you need a double wing for extra super downforce.
3) Those stickers add a substantial amount of hp and torque.
4) lowering the car to 1mm of the pavement is good because the lower a car is, the lower the center of gravity, and the better it can corner. forget about the incorrect camber or fact that you're probably riding on BALD tires now, its lower, so its better. Extra important since you'll probably be weaving in and out of traffic at high speeds, while your seat is reclined and you can't see over the steering wheel, and since you'll need to take up 2 parking spaces, and since you will be racing cars much faster than yours even though they don't know your racing them, you need a super low car.

The whole exhaust system fell off my girlfriends mom's '83 Camry.. Fell off right at the manifold. Was loud as hell :Q But it sounded like it had some giant engine in it.. lol.

It was cool.

i have a slight exhaust leak between my header and my exhaust manifold... annoying as fvck, but it's a pain to get to, and i'm feeling lazy, so i'm leaving it alone for now...
