(i'm not white though)

so i asked him how much he said $65....


:loser:<------ i gave him one of these and said i'll shop around

so i hit up advance auto parts

got the bracket for $8.40 plus tax.... :smile:

and replaced it myself today.

i noticed that while the muffler was loose, the heat of the pipe burned up a cord

WHAT IS THAT CORD AND WHAT DOES IT DO AND WHAT SHOULD I DO?

sorry, don't know, but i love your post

sorry, don't know, but i love your post

u know i go all out with everything i do... :smokin:

i dont see a cord

i dont see a cord

see the black residue on the pipe in the close up picture? if u like directly under it theres a fucked up cord/cable

i see the cord, but don't know what it could be

what does the cord connect to?

could it be just a piece of rubber tube shoved in there by the previous owner to quiet a rattle?

it looks like battery cable, but i can't figure out why there would be battery cable there

really like the post though, clearly expresses your question and makes me want to help

good luck with that

if everything is working ok than dont woory too much, also its time to address the cancer under your ass

my dad's telling me it might be the emergency brake cable... but he's only heard me describe it and i haven't tested the emergency brakes recently...

my prostate is my business.....

your prostate is UNDER your ass? hell i was talking about your rust

Your Frekin Dads A Genious, It Is For The Emergency Brake. Cable I Cut My Muffler Off And The Pipe Hits That Same Rubber Lining

ACTUALLY, i think that small black cable underneath that hose is your E brake cable,

i guess the only way your gonna get a guaranteed answer is to follow it and see where it takes ya

your prostate is UNDER your ass? hell i was talking about your rust

it was definitely a joke buddy... and how might i get rid of the rust? anything that doesn't involve replacing parts, i'm down for it.

hey colinlesser.... regarding the following:

Lightning Audio 10" Sub And VR3 300watt Amp

how much did you pay for those? cuz i'm getting a 1200watt sub and a 1200 watt amp for a 160 and i was wondering what actual fair market value is.

no they're not stolen i just have good friends with hookups.

um well to get rid of the rust get a grinder and grind the rust till shiny again then paint with black rustolem or somthing with a rust inhibitor and as for the sub and amp it ummm tryn to remember uhhh hmmm uhhhh mmmmmhmmm uhhhhh i think the sub was like 29 or 39 at wally world and the amp is only a single chanel out put that was like 59 when i bought it i think . itr sunds awsome in a cavy

That little one below the one that got burned is the e-brake cable. It looks like an anti roll bar or whatever you want to call it. Go under there and poke on it. Is it metal? If so, dont worry about it. If its wires, then I would check it out and make sure none of them got split.

i'll check it out tomorrow before class and report back to u.

Its just a rubber boot that goes over the emergency cable, which is made of steel wires banded together. Not much to worry about, it'll just get a bit dirty, if anything...
