those little coffee cans on the back of the cars are CRAP to me. I'd MUCH rather have my ranger with all its ugly glory, anemic engine, worn body parts, beat up lookin, but it is DEFINATELY gonna do some SERIOUS damage to a little import if I hit one. look at it, their car, unibody with LOTS of plastic crap, my truck about 4THOUSAND pounds of steel, with solid front to rear frame, steel bumpers, and its just plain tougher than their ricer. somehow it comforts me to know I can just drive mine home and spend $50 on parts to fix it up when the otehr guy is stuck spending around $10-20K on a new car lol

 

I figure my 390 would launch that muffler a quarter mile about the second shift!!!!!

 

I've always wanted to drive over one of those little 4 banger ricers, then back, and do it again!!!!

 

I to dislike the fart cannons. There is a slight differance tho between a fart cannon and a full cat back system. The full systems tend to sound a bit better but still not that good. Also to big of an exhaust and or muffiler makes less backpressure which in turn makes less power on a 4banger (depending on how big you go).

Ok don't yell at me. I have a Bosal full cat back system on my Focus and it's a lottle louder than I like but a deeper tone than most of the fart cannons you hear. I was a bit upset with the result of the Bosal. When I get the money I will be purchasing a stock SVT Focus full exhaust from header to tail pipe and will be selling the Bosal.
As for putting one on my truck. NO!!!!. I will be getting a custom bent duel setup with either flowmaster, borla, or magnaflow for my 390 in my F250. MY winter beater is a 4 banger with a cherry bomb but thats staying because it works and little money is going into a winter beater.

Story:
Going through a toll booth. As I leave after paying I hear the notable sound of a fart cannon. I'm looking all around to see where its coming from but there is little traffic and no cars that fit the "fart cannon" catagory. Come to find out it was coming from a 6cil F150. Yep thats right a Ford truck with a Fart cannon. I knew it was a 6 because it had single exhaust and I don't think an 8 would sound as bad as it did.
#2:
Everytime I'm with my girl and we hear a fart cannon I say "Excuse me" as tho I just farted.
#3
A girl my girlfriend works with bought a used VW and it hada fart cannon on it. Within a week it literally fell off due to rust and I looked at it and there was no way to put it back on (weld rusted where the unlet tube went intothe fart cannon). She drove around for about a month like(no muffiler) than than totaled the car.

 

Funny you say that.

A buddy of mine bought a truck (77 F150 w/ 9" of lift) that was banned from driving at the beach a year or 2 before. The (or one of) previous owner(s) had 45" tires on it and accidently backed over a Hayndi. The truck had 35" tires on it when my buddy bought it.

 

i prefer to call them "fart cans"

who gets a muffler that amplifies sound?

 

Two points:

1) the loud muffler is as performance oriented as the loud stereo. It's purely an image thing. Those of us who know anything automotive can see past those auditory tricks, especially on a topaz!
2) Don't hate on the 4-bangers. In a small car it's absolutley the right engine. Heck, Honda has engines that put out over 100 hp per litre of displacement, without turbos. That's a marvel no matter how you look at it. Plus they get a lot better mileage than our big V8's. Obviously you wouldn't put on in a truck, but it's all about finding the right application.

Oh yeah, I've owned several 4-cyl and V8 motors, and I've loved tham all.

 

I also own a toyota supra, 200hp 6cyl, and no way is it going to adopt a fart cannon (may I use that?).

Who says backing over a hyundai is an accident!

 

well admist starting this poll i had a lovely event envoling My ranger 2.9 my uncles lovely 2004 ford diesel 4X4 and a 94 civic hatch back. Well after work tonight (around 9 PM) i left work in my truck to meet my uncle after he got off from the fire department at our local auto zone to look for some led tailights that i could costom mold for my truck. We both arived a lil late due to the wet road conditons(yes sometimes i do slow down after it rains) when we got there ther ewas a love civic fart runner in the parking lot putting more stickers on the side of his oh so good black primmer paint job.After getting what we needed we come back out to find him trying to look inside my ranger. i ask him what he was doing and he turns with a smirk and asks if i want to go. Sadly be already worn out from work i declined untill he said"i thought you would chickenout ! Fords are a POS anyways." Thats when my uncle lean over and told me that if i don't race him he going to. So all in all we pull up to the light on the wet road. He started to rev his yard trimmer and grined at me. Well know that it was a 3 sec light, i knew as soon as all lights were red i would drop the clutch putting the truck in a control burn out on the wet road then drop it into 2 and fly right off the line. As soon as all lets went red i droped it hearing the burn the civic hit the gas thinking the light was green. well low and behold a tactor trailor truck ran the light and he floored his lovly civic right into the rear tires on the trailor of the tractor. Basicly it turned the car into an accordian. feelling partialy respondsible me and my uncle got out to see if he was okay. i got up to the door that was jammed shut and joked how he sure had me all up to the poit he hit the truck. he was **** and threatened to strighten me out as soon as he got out of his car. That when things turned bad the door was crushed stuck and my uncle found that his gas tank was cracked. She we decied to do something despert and using chains the tractor drivor provided we broke the window and sercured the door down and hooked it to the back of my uncles diesel. My uncle being not the person to do something lightly floor the gas and riped the door off of whats left of the car. We gave him his door back and left before the cops shoed up so we wouldn't be charged with anything stupid like partial responsiblity to the accident. the whole time the tractor trailor drive only said a few things. "Serves him right" and "I need a picture of this to wave at the next lil basterd that trys to cu tme off." Ahhhhh I htink this memory will go down int he for scrap book

 

1. We have to face reality sometime, all ricers(meaning sound & looks over performance) will have to replace their rusted out exhaust systems before or after they fall off the car; in EXACTLY the same way we had to replace ours, right? When them or us replace something on our vehicle, how many of us are going to use stock parts? Not many, as we all want to improve our ride, either for exhaust flow or exhaust sound, unfortuneately our ears do not agree with their ears

But yeah, I too dislike FARTCannons

2. I have had this notion to go and get FOUR harley mufflers for my truck and run four pipes to make it sound like 4 BIG bike engines, heehee

3. Today, waiting for my ride home, I see this Chev Suburban go by accelerating from 10MPH to 35MPH, this thing sounded stupid in a bad way!!! It was a 6 inch exhaust tube from over the axle to under the bumper, but the engine must have been a 305, it sounded so weak
4 inches and up belong on diesels!

Second story: Hallowen not too long ago, put the special effects sounds CD in the player and cranked it loud enough to hear through the open house windows on the street. So I go outside to check how loud it is and the noises stop(I think), I figure the player has screwed up, then I hear this 4-cyl car coming, but with no tire noise. What the hey? I fooled my self, the moaning on the CD sounded like an inport with a fart can!!!!! BRRROOOOOO A few kids on the street looked both ways before crossing the street to our house when they heard the moaning part on the CD!!!

 

haha i shoulod place one of those 90 dollar ones on my father heavy turbo diesel. lol he already has a 5 inch exhaust maybe i can put it on backwords? either way i am sure when the turbo spolls up the sound will probly be a bang as the cannon flys into the nieghboors yard. hah i think i make a run now. maybe if i aim right i can hit the neighboors civic. but knowing him he will pick it up and weld it ontop of his exsisting one
