I own a 1996 BMW 328i. It's auto with 85,500 original miles. Stock except for the wheels, tinted windows, and head unit. Someone is interested in trading me a 1998 Firebird formula 6 speed ls1 with 138k miles but 40k on a rebuilt motor. It has some mods which are Ram air, Ls6 cam, long tube headers, true dual rumbler exhaust system, spec stage 4 clutch, spec aluminum flywheel, 4:11 rear end, and 5.0 short shifter. I've always wanted a t/a and this seems to be a good deal to me. I've had the bmw for 2 months and i love it but the firebird is my favorite car and Ive always wanted one. The guy is looking for a 4 door car because he has kids now and needs more of a family car. My biggest issue is the fact that it's just about winter now here in new england but i don't think either car will be good in the winter weather. I'm just looking for some input and advice on whether or not I should pursue the trade or just say no.

How big is the space behind the seats... is there enough room to put 2 10' tube subs and an amp behind them?
I want to get a black one for my next car and i want to put green neons underneath and in the vents and also a new exhaust system that is 98Db :P!
Yes its only a 2 seater!! but i meant behind the seats like the subs you get for trucks in the clio v6 you get a little space between the seats and the engine to store things i was wondering how big that space was too see what kind of subs to put behind them 6 inch, 8 inch or 10'


I've checked the plug, the breaker, and cleaned the filter where all the lint collects but it still won't work
I turned the breaker off and waited a minute then turned it back on twice b4 I posted this... still nothing but thanks
Ok ty. I jiggled the cord going from the dryer to the outlet and it started working so there must be a short in the cord or the wiring has come loose from the dryer


Can anyone translate the following:

Hi Ercan, here is a little thing that will hopefully help you to realise why I want you to stop smoking. It's not just for me, but because I want you to look after your health. Smoking is such a terrible habit and I know most people where you live smoke like chimneys. You know you are my everything Ercan, and I cant stand watching you smoke and knowing what you are doing to your body. It is also affecting me as I breathe in your second hand smoke, which has the same affects. I want us to have a long and happy life together, and I don't want that to be compromised by smoking. So please Ercan, read this, take it in and stop smoking. These are facts. Believe me.

What does smoking do to my body?

Smoking causes many serious and fatal diseases including lung cancer, heart disease, bronchitis and emphysema. It also causes many other cancers, respiratory diseases, strokes and can affect fertility. Cigarettes contain over 4,000 toxic chemicals and around 50 of these cause cancer.

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas in cigarette smoke. It is also found in car exhaust fumes and produced by faulty gas appliances. It takes the place of oxygen in the blood, causing your lungs to work less efficiently. This stops cells all around your body from getting the oxygen they need.

Tar is the sticky brown substance which stains your fingers and teeth. Tar causes cancer and damages your lungs. It stays inside your lungs, making tubes narrower and reducing your protection against infection.

What's in a cigarette?

Cigarettes contain over 4,000 toxic chemicals and around 50 of these cause cancer. The three main toxins are nicotine, carbon monoxide and tar.
Some other things found in cigarettes are:
Acetone - Nail polish remover
Ammonia - Toilet cleaner
Arsenic - Rat poison
Benzo(a)pyrene - Diesel exhaust fumes
Carbon Monoxide - Petrol exhaust fumes
DDT and Dieldrin - Insecticides
Formaldehyde - Preservative for dead bodies
Hydrogen Cyanide - Poison used in gas chambers
Methanol - Rocket fuel
Titanium - Metal used to make aeroplanes
Haemoglobin from the blood of a pig is used in cigarette filters

What are the effects of secondhand smoke?

Breathing in secondhand smoke can damage almost every organ in the human body. It increases the risk of lung cancer by 24% and heart disease by 25%. Secondhand smoke is very dangerous for children because their bodies are still developing. Cot death is twice as likely for babies whose mothers smoke. Children who grow up in a smoking household are much more likely to suffer from asthma, middle ear infections, coughs, colds and wheezes. People exposed to secondhand smoke face the same dangers as smokers themselves. They breathe in the same poisonous gases and toxic chemicals so suffer from the same health risks.


I have not had a great history when it comes to my female organs, and it was supposed to be difficult to get pregnant but i proved that wrong. I now am a mother of two and I wanted my tubes tied, but i had a pro- having kids doctor and she wouldn't fix me. Lil So she and i decided to get the Mirena. I have had it going on 3 years now and have difficulties out he wazoo! My recent issue is major bloating, I have gained 20 pounds in 2 months, and it's not due to eating or exercising habits i promise you... and I haven't had a period for over 2 years now and 2 days ago after a couple months of being over exhausted I started bleeding! So I freaked. And then it slowly lightened up over the day into a brown like discharge. This is embarrassing but I am worried. I don't have medical insurance so I can't go to a doctor. I did a pregnancy test but it came out negative. I am tired of feeling so tired, the cramps, and bloating and fullness of my lower abdomen. Does any one have any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone else? I contacted the Mirena company believe it or not and they asked if I could feel it in there. So i checked and i can so it's in there still. And then they recommended a pregnancy test which is why I did it and it said I am not regnant but when i got pregnant with my kids I had weak HCG hormones and my test would come out negative til I was like 3 months pregnant. So I am worried and the symptoms I have could be dangerous I am told so Advice Please!


what are the best mods to start out with?

do you have any suggestions to do next
cold air intake..
gears and T lok..
long tube headers..
????
what should i get first?

Last year I pulled my window unit out and put it straight into storage in the basement. I went to put it in this season and I saw a bunch of what looked like mold in the exhaust passage. I couldn't clean it out and ended up tossing it. I have a new now and am putting it into storage but don't want the sam thing to happen. I don't see where the drain plug is on the unit. At the bottom of the condeser is a small open tube that looks like this is probably the drain, but it would just drain out the bottom of the unit on its own. Is there a way I can keep this one from growing mold like the last one? Do you think it could have just been that it was put in the basement that caused the molding or would it have been from excess moisture from not draining it last year?


car has ls9 intake, borla exhaust, slp lid, smooth bellows, upgraded cpu, and soon to have comp cams. car is lowered so long tubes might not have clearance,and i heard shorty headers dont really make a diffrence.


ok i cut one end of my cat off so its tubing to the cat and that's it i am just running the cat as a muffler but its loud as hell. so i am going to cut the cat all the way off and put in a glass pack and dump it under the truck, now this should make it sound better wright???? not like a tractor lol, or will it sound the same???? i believe the glass pack is a thrush glasspack, its just the stock single exhaust if thats helps thanks


Hello, I have a 1999 Camaro with pacesetter headers, the short tubed ones. They both connect to a y pipe. If I delete the y pipe and decided to run open headers, how will the exhaust gas escape from my car : would i need some small exhaust to lead the gas out or will it just blow out by itself and not come back into the car?


Hello, I have a 1999 Camaro that has pacesetter headers that lead to an off road y pipe. To run open headers and get rid of the y pipe, how would I allow exhaust gas to escape.

Would I need a small exhaust pipe?


I delivered my daughter at 30 weeks, she was on a feeding tube and than the bottle/ attempts at the breast. She would not nurse from the breast, met w/ the lactation consultant in the hospital (only one visit covered) and was given some tips/ tickle neck, express some milk to entice her. She still will not nurse from the breast, I am exclusively pumping and getting exhausted between attempting the breast, giving her a bottle, then pumping. Any tips? Anyone been successful for a premature infant that was born this early or close to/ prior 33 weeks


I have a 99 Crown vic, I plan on making a custom X-pipe setup, I think I'm going to use 2 1/4 stainless steel pipe from the cat back, to the X (it has H pipe stock) and then the dual back but I want to know what are the loudest mufflers I can Weld up to the tube. I'm also thinking about making the exhaust come out the sides.
I dont really care about legality.


Hello
I'm from Germany and 4 weeks ago we had made a class trip to London.
Now we had to write and "report" of our week.
Sadly my english isn't very good^^.
Can you maybe check my text?


Report of the trip to london 2009


The first day ( monday, 14.09.09 ) :

On monday i stood up hasty on two o' clock in the morning , because our bus started at four o'clock. I carried my traveling bag into the car and a few minutes later , my brother , my mum and me drove to the meeting point in Rastede. We waited there for our teacher and the other classmates. After that we were allocated for our seats. Finally the bus hit the road.
We drove through the Netherlands, Belgium and France, where we took the ferry to England. It was a long time to boarded the ferry , beacause the boarder had to check out all passports.
When we arrived in London, we was very happy to dismounted. We searched our traveling bags and Ramon, Tizian, Lukas and me waited for our family. When we saw our host mother we had to smile , 'cause Mr. Kowalski said, we get the strictest family. And of courcse she looked pretty hard. During the ride back to her home we talked about our families and our hobbys. At home we packed out our chlothes, ate something and lay down to sleep.



The second day ( tuesday, 15.09.09 )

We stood up at six o' clock in the next morning , ate something, got our lunchpacket and drove to the underground station, where we met our classmates. We got a travelcard for one week , so we can use the underground (tube) whenever we wanted. We met us at the Victoriastation in london. After that the class went to the Trafalgar Square. We should make the London Walk. When we were finished, I went with Ramon, Tizian, Lukas, to the next underground station and drove to the Oxfordstreet, because we had enough time and wanted to shop. A few hours later we went to the Covent Garden. After we appeared there we saw a streetperformer who tried to exempt himself from a hugh rope , that was tied around his body. It was a rainy day and because of that we got more free time to explored the city. After a hard day we drove back to the Victoriastation and boarded our train at 6.21 pm to came back to our family in Bromley.



The third day ( wednesday, 16.09.09 )

So the last days we stood up at 6 o' clock , ate something , got our lunchpackets and drove to the meeting point Bromley South and with the tube to the Victoriastation. We talked with our teachers and got some free time.The first thing we (Nico, Julian and me) did, was to went to the Buckingham Palace. Then my group and me drove with the Victoria- and Centralline to the Oxfordstreet and Westfield, a big shopping center, and shoped a litte bit. Westminster was really big and all famous designer and famous electronic stores were inside. Then Ramon, Tizian, Lukas and me went to the Natural History Museum. We did a tour through the museum. It was really interested. In the evening we met us in chinatown to ate together in a restaurant ( Mr. Wu ). After that we went throug chinatown and could bought something for the ride back to Germany.
Because we were in a restaurant we came back home later. We get the train at 9.22 pm from Victoriastation to Bromley South, where our host mother was waiting for us. The day was so hard and long so we fell asleep when we arrived at home.




The fourth day ( tuesday, 17.09.09 )

Like the other days we stood up at the same time , ate something , got our lunchpacket and drove to Bromley South and then to Victoriastation. In the morning we drove to Greenspark, because we wanted to see the ghettos. On the ride to Greenspark we was really scared. Nobody else was in the train. But it was boring there so we drove to the House of Parliament ,visited it and taked pictures of the guards and the buildings, and to the Tower Bridge, London Bridge, Kings Cross, London Eye and Big Ben. In the afternoon we met the other classmates at the Camden Market. But the market was really poor. Therefore we drove to Westfield again and bought some things for the ride back to germany and relaxed there for a hour.
After a exhausting day the classmates and me drove to Bromley South, where the families were already waiting for us. In the evening we packed our bags and gave our host family some gifts and we thanked her for the time she maked our food and brougth us to the meeting point. Then we went to our room and fell asleep.




The fifth day ( friday , 18.09.09 )

On that day we stood up at 5.30 am , because our bus started at 7.00 am. So we ate something, brought our bags to the car und drove to the meeting point , we arrived at the first day. Ramon, Tizian, Lukas and me were the first there. We brought our bags to the hatchway of the bus, sat down and waited for the other. At 7.00 pm all classmates boarded the bus and we started the ride back to Germany. The ride was so boring. We played games on our gameboys, heard music, sleep and


I'm looking to finally redo the exhaust after owning my car for 4 years now...headers, x or h pipe and exhaust/mufflers. What I'm stuck on is what to get. Sound wise, I don't want anything that's gonna be hard on the ears while driving, but definitely something that will turn heads going down the road. As far as performance...I'll take all the gains I can get!
As far as headers, long or short and what brand? I've heard to go with long tubes for performance, but no clue as far as the brand.
For the X or H pipe, should I go with a CAT or CAT-LESS and what brand again? I've heard the arguments as far as sound and I'm definitely looking for a throatier/old school Mustang sound. I'm in the military and my car is registered out of state, so I'm not that worried about emissions as well.
For the exhaust/mufflers I'm thinking MagnaFlows, but open to suggestions.
Thanks for the help in advance!
Matt


Hello on my Camaro I have pacesetter short tubed headers. I had them installed about 5,000 miles ago. When I accelerate there is a loud tap tap tap sound. I think it may be the headers. The engine does not name the sound unless Im accelerating and there is plenty of oil on my dipstick.

But when I look at the headers I do not see any exhaust smoking coming out of them. How can I tell if I have an exhaust/header leak. Are they always visible?


I cnat tell what is wrong. On my 1999 Camaro I have short tubed headers and no cat, just a y pipe.

When I accelerate it sounds like a metallic tapping sound, and when I let off the throttle it goes away. It's like a matchcard is under the hood.

What could it be? The car has 104,000 miles on it, and when at idle or not hitting the throttle, there is no tapping sound.

Is it an exhaust leak, headers leak, lifters, spun rod bearing, etc.....


Me and my dad are going to build an off road go kart like the one in the sept/oct magazine The Shed. for the frame they used 32mm x 2mm exhaust tubing. What is a good place to buy this tubing and all the other metal needed

thank you


Took my 2000 Ford Taurus to the shop this morning. The guy said that I had an exhaust leak and that the erg tube might need to be replaced. My car was shaking, running really badly, and had an awful odor. Wondering how much I might be out of.


A dear friend of my family has a very strange and perplexing condition that is potentially killing her. Specialists at the University of Michigan Hospital cannot figure out what is going on. Any thoughts or advice that could spark an Idea for the specialists and team will be much appreciated and needed.

The symptoms are as fallow:

For the past month she has been complaining of "pain/aching" in her legs. Nothing unbearable just uncomfortable. 10 days ago she went to the hospital where she received a multitude of tests showing "blood clots" in her legs. They immediately put her on blood thinners and antibiotics. They continued to monitor her and run tests but the tests were minimal because of the blood thinners. She continued to form blood clots even when the blood was 3 times thinner than normal. Then they spread to her lungs and ruptured, causing phenomena. They have her on several medications trying to get her stabilized but nothing is seeming to stop the clotting. Last night her lungs were so full of fluid, she suffocated in the fluid and went into cardiac arrest. The inserted a breathing tube and got her stabilized but continue to have her in a "Drug Induced Coma". The doctors can't do any exploratory surgery because of the blood thinners. They have exhausted every avenue and are out of Ideas, Please, Please help...Anyone... P.S. This all happened in roughly one weeks time.
She was also a smoker for many years in the 80's and 90's. They said there is a good chance of her having lung cancer, but it doesn't explain the clotting problem.

Thanks


The exhaust on my Camaro is really loud. There is no restriction, just short tubed pacesetter headers that has no cat and single in and dual out.

There seems to be a fats paced ticking noise I hear when I accelerate. For the exhaust work the pacesetter headers aren't the best quality, just the cheap ones. Also the off road y pipe looks kind of cheap and the rest of the exhaust looks kind of old...

could the ticking sound be because of my setup?

(I also have a K&N in front of the engine)


Hello I have a 1999 Camaro with 104,000 miles.

The car has short tubed headers and no cat, just a y pipe that goes single in and dual out.

When I accelerate I hear a ticking noise coming from somewhere. If I take my foot off of the accelerator and let the car roll there is no sound. If I open up the hood and look and listen, there really is no sound.

Could this sound be an exhaust leak or vacuum leak somewhere, perhaps where the headers are and where the cat should be?


So I just bought this 96 Saturn SL2 and I just had a few general questions about it that is bothering me. I got it for a really good price and it's nothing too major so I'm not too upset about these "problems"

1: The moon roof seems to be jammed? It opens just enough to lift off the roof then goes (click, click, click) like it's jammed. The same thing with closing it, even tho it closes ALMOST all the way, one corner sticks up just a little.

2: Not at first, but after the car warms up a bit, like 10 min. or so of driving, whenever I accelerate, there is a rattling noise. It gets louder the more I accerlerate. I'm assuming something is loose, sounds maybe like the exhaust shield or something? Any ideas?

and the biggest problem that I really do need to get fixed asap...
3: Reverse slips and 2 shifts hard..again, only when warmed up. When I leave for school in the morning, reverse pops right in and backs up without slipping..no problem. And 2nd doesnt' shift hard. But after about 5 min. of driving (hense why I didn't notice this little problem on the test drive) when the car is good and warmed up..if I have to back up (automatic by the way) it either won't go in, or I have to rev the engine and it will slowly creep then BAMM!! it slams into reverse so hard my tires screech and then slips right back out again so I have to go through that process again just to back up. Same with 2nd but not so dramatic. It just shifts hard but has no problem going into the gear. I was told it wasn't a tranny problem that it's a valve? Or I was thinking it could be the tranny cooler lines hence why it works perfect when it's cold and not able to cool down enough the hotter it gets.

I already put sea foam in it to try and unclog any tubes, valves, etc..did nothing. It's got plenty of nice clean red fluid so low fluid is not the problem...

Sorry about the novel ^

Any ideas???

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH OH and the gas pedal sticks a little..not like I would drive outta control cause the gas pedal is stuck, sticks like I have to unstick it to accelerate. (just a little bit) Do I just grease it up with some DubbayaD40??
Well, I found out the rattle is the catalytic converter..soo no big deal there. It just passed smog so I don't need to worry about that for awhile. Tranny issue is starting to bother me...we'll see. Thanks!


I have a 1975 Mercury outboard motor. It had not been cranked in a few years. I thought I should install a new water pump impeller before cranking it. I did so and now no water comes out the pee hole in the top back of the engine. I ran a weed eater string all the way through the small pipe to the engine block, no blockage. Is there any way the engine foot would go back on without the small water tube inside the foot not going into the hole in engine block? This tube flops around while trying to install it. I have had it off twice. Even carried it to the lake a tried it, still no water coming out pee tube just exhaust ports. Please help I hear fish are biting! jrmatthewsyadtel.net


Hello, my current setup is a 1999 V6 Camaro. It has short tubed pacesetters headers that connect to an off road y pipe. The exhaust then continues to follow a single in dual out pattern. There is no cat and no muffler.

My question is can I put two cutouts towards the back of the exhaust where the "fake duals" begin to form. Will this be safe.

If I wanted to make a cutout further up like where the y pipe is, how would the exhaust gas escape from the car?

last question, what would be louder my current "fake duals" straight pipe set up(pretty loud), or if i have the exhaust shop weld some dual side pipes that come out form the headers and get rid of the rest of the exhaust?


Hello, I have a 1999 Camaro with short tubed headers that go into an off road y pipe, then straight pipe out, no cat and no muffler.

If I want to run "open headers" will I need two pipes that let the exhaust gas that gets collected from the small tubed headers to exit form the car, somewhere really close like out to the side in front of the car.

-is this dangerous? ( how can it be since exhaust gas is escaping)
-Even though it's not true "open headers" since exhaust is being let out by small pipes wil it still be loud?
-Is there a chance of a fire catching?

-thank you exhaust enthusiasts.


I'm restoring a 1970 MG Midget, just recently got it into condition it can drive around the block. The engine is running, but it's making a noise, almost a cough, or a beanbag dropping on the floor. To describe the sound, I'd say "chuff." When this happens, the engine shakes visibly and the engine slows down a bit. It's not a steady thing, definitely not every time one cylinder fires, but quite frequent. With the engine idling at about 1000 rpm, it made this noise about 80 times in a minute. It does seem to have a pattern to it, like it's on one cylinder every 2-4 revolutions, but I can't be sure about that. It's doing this through the engine's speed range, but seems to be doing it more at idle.

Fuel mix is set according to the instructions as I understand them. Twin SU HS2 carbs, synched up by ear (tube from ear to carb throat and adjust until both carbs make the same sound) and jet height adjusted until when, if the piston is raised a little, the engine speed rises and then drops back down. There is no evidence of vacuum leaks, there's only one vacuum hose on the car anyways (goes to distributor) and it looks fine. Timing was set by static timing at 10 btdc. Points and condenser are two years old, with less than four hours running time on them, and I seem to be getting good spark. I am getting a little bluish smoke (no surprise in a 70 model), I also seem to have an exhaust leak--not sure if these could be related but thought I'd tell y'all just in case.

So what is it? What makes my engine go "chuff?"


Hello, I have a V6 Camaro with short tube headers which go to an of road y pipe, then straight out to a single in dual out setup. There is no cat and no mufflers.

What is the difference(if any) between running "open headers", and going to the exhaust shop and having him get rid of the exhaust all the way to where the headers are and have side pipes where the exhaust can get out from in front of the car?

is that running "open headers"???

Will it affect performance and sound?


Hello, ok right now I have a 1999 V6 Camaro. It has short tubed headers which connect to an off road y pipe, then it goes straight out the back into duals.

There already is no cat and no muffler, with o2 simulators.

----------

ok here is my question. I really want open headers. Can I just go to an exhaust shop and ask them to unbolt the exhaust at the headers and then run some pipes that go to the side of my car. What exactly do I need to ask the exhaust shop to weld for open headers.

-first off is open headers and having the exhaust unbolted at the headers and then having some side pipes come out of the headers the same thing?

-Ok dont worry about sound, because right now the car is already loud and it doesnt matter to me.

Ok, now will the car be faster. It is kinda slow off the line with the straight pipe, but really fast once i get going. Will this be the same with open headers.
will it be louder than my current setup (single in dual out straight pipe vs headers side exhaust?)


I am installing an exhaust fan in my bathroom and I want it on a separate switch than the light that is already there. I have read that I can take power from the light and make a switch loop to the fan and back to the switch. Can someone please explain in detail how to wire everything including the double pole swith! Thank you!


I have a 2004 eclipse GT it has 205hp stock but ive added short tube headers, cold air intake, underdrive pulley, and a magnaflow exhaust on it.. and soon i'll be putting a ported intake mainifold on it. so about how much horsepower does my car have now and how much will the manifold gain?


Short of breathe, feel as if smothering, pain in back as if in lungs and upper chest as if bronchial tubes, Condition worsening.Exertion(ie lifting, fast walking) escalates problem. Meds used at present Symbacort 2 X day and Provential for rescue. Some mucus but no coughing it up. I have an appmt with lung Dr in 2 week but really need advice from real Dr that is willing to help. Do I need to see different type Dr? am presently treated by primary GP. Could this be heart failure, I have edma/legs & feet 2 formoseride40 mg per day. Lose Potassium etc and have Xtr strong cramping then- take Potas supplement to stop that. Serious answers only please as I'm very concerned.

I've been sick for two months now. Fever, headache, body aches and horrible fatigue. Three negative strep tests and a negative mono test. First my doc (internist) thought it was H1N1, then maybe inflammatory arthritis, but I didn't respond to prednisone. We tried antibiotics, because I developed these spots that looked like bug bites but were really hard. Finally he sent me to a rhematologist, who I saw yesterday, he doesn't think it's rheumatological and questioned why I was there. He did "get the ball rolling" with a ton of lab tests (13 tubes) but I decided to play turnip and no one could get blood out of me. Last night I was awake for three hours with joint pains and I am utterly exhausted today. Tears are easily flowing today, which only serve to further sap my energy. Anyone dealt with something like this? What did it turn out to be?


I'm going to tell you a true story about my young Cousin, Maggy.

10 years ago, Maggy was born in (Real names of locations hidden for privacy reasons) Freeman Medical Center.
Her parents, orthodox Catholics, were told their beloved 4-hour old Maggy has breathing problems. They asked God on their knees that Maggy's problem would be solved and not be anything serious.
The next day, they get to see Maggy again. Their 32 hour Daughter apparently has a permanent and rare lung disease and will need to breathe with special equipment for the rest of her life.

After a hard year of a baby with a tube down her throat, the Doctor told them there is new technology that will allow the baby to only take several breaths from a simple machine once an hour for the rest of her life.
The machine made things easier for a year.

A few years passed. It was her 5th birthday and her cake had just been served. Everyone finished singing Happy Birthday and told her to blow out the 5 sparkly candles. A would-be happy day went wrong when instead of blowing a vortex of air at the small fires on each candle, Maggy coughed out little droplets of blood.
Instead of having some nice moist cake, she had syringes stuck in her arm at the Emergency room as the doctors tried to battle the blood vessel that was popped by a brand-new tumor in her neck.
As family from her parents to her uncles to me, her cousin (Also a catholic at the time) prayed in the waiting room while she was in surgery for God to let this poor girl live a happy life.
We didn't do anything wrong. We weren't the happiest family on earth either. We all had our issues. We were all catholic except for a single Presbyterian whom we accepted but were always a little suspicious of.
Maggy's favorite place was Church. She loved everything about it.
Later that day, the doctor finally came out. We had been praying to God for 3 hours that it would be fine. Instead, the Doctor only said 7 words before a 1-minute delay of continuing his sentence. "I'm Sorry, we did everything we could".

This is the end of Maggy's story. She lived a sad life of only 5 years. Sure, she liked church, but she couldn't attend the sermon because she had to stop. She liked to play, though. Her breathing troubles kept her from running, swimming or doing other exhausting activites, but she was able to use the slide and play with dolls.

Why does God hate Maggy, but love that Pedophile who got away with "Self Defense" after killing two children and paying off a couple judges in Texas?


I'm not a criminal, at ALL. An besides speeding, and basic traffic violations, i have never broken the law. But I really wonder, do you think a BMW M3 can outrun a 2008 Crown Victoria Police interceptor? My BMW is a 2003, borla exhaust, K&N filters, larger pulleys, and re-programed PCM (no speed limiter, no rev limiter) The reason i ask is because i saw a STOCK newer M3 outrun a Florida highway patrol Camaro on you tube.


I am wanting to put true dual straight pipes (no mufflers) on my Chevy 2002 X cab Z71. I have all the tools all I need except for a pipe bender and I wanna save money and not have anyone bend it for me. So is there any where that I can find just pre bent tubing or am I going to have to buy the tubing and get it bent for me? Thanks.


I got the car from my step brother. It had side pipes on it. I went to turn around one day and hit a curb knocking the side pipe off and lodging it under the car. I didn't have the money at the time, and my step father is a cheap moron, so he bought and installed Cherry Bombers with straight pipes. Needless to say he did not weld anything together and the exhaust kept falling apart and I kept putting it back together. Eventually my passenger exhaust fell of completely and bend down my Catalytic Converter. It took about a week for the Catalytic Converter to separate itself from my Header on the passenger side. It is pretty apparent that a weld on the end of the Header broke and let loose allowing my Cat to fall off. I now am on the search for replacement Cats, whether from a junk yard car or brand new. I was wondering what the difference between Shorty's and Long pipes are? My car had Shorty's. I also have a true dual exhaust and would like to keep it that way. I love the way it sounds right now but know it is highly illegal to drive it in this condition. What exhaust system can I install to make it either dead silent or extremely loud but gritty?


Last Saturday I was in attendance to an event that saw myself travelling from my hometown to London - an hours train ride away, then navigating tubes, walking to Trafalgar Square with a girlfriend of mine, then walking from Trafalgar Square to StJames Park and a ton of other travelling whilst some of the time pulling a suitcase containing my laptop and other heavy luggage around me.

Those on my Facebook account will know the event I speaketh of.

In all honesty this event and other issues with a few negative issues has led me to become really exhausted and pracitucally running on empty, on Sunday as I stayed overnight in a hotel but couldnt sleep much I bought some cigarettes - am not a smoker but thought I needed something to relax to.

Its now a few days now and I am not dealing with people the way I normally do, its like the whole "EVERYTHINGs going to work out perfectly fine today." act took up everything I had in me. I am eating normally now and my weight isd back to how it should be but I am still very tired and not quick with my reactions as usually.

Is this a simple case of exhaustion, i.e. being short of breath or something, getting irritable with those who are doing their best to say "Richard, you didnt fail on Saturday it wasnt your fault things didnt go according to plan." which is another thing I'm a perfectionist and wanted everything to go well and when we couldnt get an internet connection which is what would have made the day so much better for others I just felt bad we couldnt.

The girl I shared the hotel room with we've become very good friends and is one of those people I see having a good long friendship with shes realised I gave too much of myself last week in so many ways so it was glad we met if that *Smiles*
