    Catted midpipe anyone???

    That's what I thought... A buddy of mine has a midpipe, but it's been stored outside for about a year.. Does that mean the cats are already shot? Or how much would it take to ruin the cats?

    Catted midpipe anyone???

    Hey everyone... its that time for me (us californians) who need to smog their cars, and my stock h-pipe that I had in my yard got stolen. I had it nice and wrapped up, so water wouldn't damage it, and without it I'm sunk when it comes to smogging the car. I'm hoping someone in the SF bay area...

    odd problem-car turning on and off while driving

    Hey everyone... I had the same exact problem when I first got my mustang, except I also had the added bonus of the car deciding when it wanted to start and not start. Didn't matter what the temp was, how long it had been sitting, etc. Would even die driving down the road and wouldn't start back...

    Big time rearend help!!

    Hmm.... well being that I'm not too hip on the inner workings of the rearend, can you try to decode just a bit? so the carrier bearing would be inside the rearend, obviously..?? and the carrier bearing (in it's slowly declining days) can make the whining noise when under acceleration?
