Thread: speed daddy headers vs tractor trailer tire belt

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

This is why I'm modding mine to delete the u-bend in it....are you lowered?

nope on stock struts.... just took 20's off so i was sittin lower than usual.... its dark out but it looks like the only damage is to V clamp and a few deep scuffs in that bend

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.

at least i wasnt driving and there wasnt a stop sign in the way. id have hit that instead.

sorry man. somewhat happened to me the other night driving home from work and then i heard a loud POP!!! i look over a 18 wheeler is right there rims sparkin. i say not tonight and floor it past him

no worries... everything except crossovers are now welded. fukc that big ass ugly V clamp.
