    Can Exhaust Get INTO Tranny/Differential..?

    You know what i could do, tell what you think... I can cut out say a 5 inch section in each pipe just before it goes 2-1....then sleeve on a turn down on each pipe so it would be exiting right at the middle of the car-towards the concrete. If i want it normal again...just get 2, 5inch sections...

    Can Exhaust Get INTO Tranny/Differential..?

    lol, yeah car alarms....i get that with my system. But how would true duals actually sound through a stock cat on each pipe..? No mil lights will show cause this is all after the o2 sensors. Right now the stock piping is 2-1-2 and i got no mufflers-strianghts in its place. The car sounds...

    Can Exhaust Get INTO Tranny/Differential..?

    Thanks guys. Hmmm....i'm thinking of maybe choppin both ends and putting turn downs on each pipe....this would pretty much be true dual exhaust through the 2 stock cats..... How would that sound.....i might have to try this..lol.

    Can Exhaust Get INTO Tranny/Differential..?

    Hey what's up guys, my 95 tbird has a rust section which is small but enough to make some exhaust dump under the car. It is near the tranny and one of the guys at the shop said either cover it, or the best bet cut out the section which is only about 5 inches and add new pipe and sleeve it...

    AT w/OD off...heats up gears faster...? (please tell me this is wrong)

    Thank you. Yeah if anything OD would actually make the tranny heat up more, especially stop and go 0-35mph traffic.

    AT w/OD off...heats up gears faster...? (please tell me this is wrong)

    btw i did mention that when o/d is on the tranny is working harder..and the engine is not....take it off, and the engine is working harder, and the tranny is working less. He wanted to hear none of that.

    do autolite AP-764s need to be gapped?

    PS platinum 764's are great plugs, don't let some people get you paranoid saying you NEED copper plugs. Yeah it is prefered, but the platinums are good. As long as you don't use bosch.
