Dollar bill trick

I've heard of a trick that you can take a bill & hold it over the exhaust pipe/tip & if it gets sucked back in a bit it means something but I just cant seem the remember it to save my life. Anyone heard of this?

Yeah, it means an exhaust valve is burnt, kind of bogus and subjective. It is much better to just use a simple vacuum gage.

Thats what it was!! Thanks man! Now would the lenght of pipe effect anything? It had true duels w/ tips til the tips fell off & I cut a good chunk of pipe out when I replaced my rearend last weekend. Ill try to get some pics of that shinny new rearend soon

I used to know another dolllor bill trick, I'd stick the bill to the dash of my old Mustang and tell my neices or nephews if they could get it before I let off the gas they could keep it

BTW, don't tell my sisters!

The trick is that if the bill gets sucked up, then that means you just lost a dollar.

And if it does that it means you get to cut the pipes off & make it louder!

I've got another dollar bill trick for you. First you hand me a dollar. Then I make it disappear. Repeat until amazement ends. Higher bills also welcome.
