Anyone know why the rice hating detroit loving car buffs call them fart cannons or fart pipes?

It really just doesnt make sense to me.

 

Because it sounds like a fart. I think they sound more like pissed-off weed eaters.
fart cannons are my life WOOT!

 

it's also known as, coffee can exhaust and grapefruit shooter

 

Get with the program, LEVIII. [sm=wakeup.gif]

 

I can relate to the grapefruit shooter one. That's what I call it because my stinkin' canister really is big enough to. I think it's funny. But LEVIII's right, I think the "fart" references are gay.

 

but meanwhile, if someone throws flowmaster 40s on a V6 mustang with 4" tips...there is nothing wrong with that?!

 

I know. I just had this discussion with my Chevy maniac buddy last night. I told him that domestic guys started "rice."

Case in point...

Umm... neon green? Sure looks like a sport compact to me.


Stickers anyone?


You cannot tell me this isn't "rice"


And the grand pooh-bah of all "wings", and in neon orange...


He really couldn't argue anymore.

 

the only one that i argue with is the superbird...that car was, and still is aerodynamically very good. everything on that car was tuned to yield very little Cd at high speed...including that wing. when in good shape, that car is VERY valuable. while those gremlinds that you showed are just nasty...[:'(]

the superbird in hemi orange came with no less than 375hp...or the option of 425.

 

Yea, i was about to say that those particular plymouths were hardcore in teir day... werent they also priced to be a bang for the buck?

 

well, that one wasnt...that was just a 1969 roadrunner with, basically, a body kit. they were pure performance, and in that trim, they were expensive. they were offered as the plymouth superbird or the dodge charger daytona. i have seen a hemi dayonta sell for 800 large..they only made a few hundred of them

scratch that...they made 70 dodge charger daytona's with the 425 (under rated) hp hemi, and 433 with the 375hp non-hemi model
