    so i was on my way home after working tonight, things were goin good... i totally smoked a prelude 2 times... then i was cruisin home chillin messing with my cd player, look up and see a huge piece of belt while goin about 70 mph.... too late to swerve... completely ripped my down pipe off. i collected all the parts and tied teh rest of my exhaust with my pants belt and made it home to the sound of stainless grinding teh road as i hit dips in the road.... whoever has ever ran these cars with open headers on purpose is a tool cuz it sounds like fukcin sh1t. so as for the night.... me:2 ..... guy in prelude: 0 ..... tractor trailer belt:1 downpipe: 0

    that sucks dude, sorry to hear that. the last time i came home from school, i was all happy about leaving that damn place and then a tire comes apart like 10 feet in front of me. it drilled the front end, i ran over it, and the edge i didn't run over left scratches all over the passenger door

    Truck tires can do some serious damage sometimes

    Get a V Band clamp from Napa if you have one near you just had to replace mine.. and get rid of the damn sink trap.. I also moved my flex pipe down a little to get the whole exhaust to tuck back up.
