2.8L exhaust leak, causing sluggish accleration?

wrenching on our cars without being high.

BLASPHEMY!

[2.8 Grand Prix]

Did it ever occur to you that there might be some of us who don't smoke or drink? As crazy as it might sound, some of us have fun doing things like wrenching on our cars without being high.

Thats just my opinion, take it for what it's worth.

so what youre saying is you would prefer to roll than bong it?

i also forgot to mention, i dont smoke cigarettes. i have a tough time spelling the word! hahaha when i surprised my dad at work with my daughter he was outside smoking and made me hold it so he could hold her. and holy crap did that feel outa place. i couldnt hold it like a joint infront of all his co workers!! haha o shit. im going to shut up now before this gets WAAAY off topic. were gonna have a bunch more cutlasses with L67s stuffed into the trunk.

the concentration issues are what would lead me to not bake and grind...

depends on your usage of the substance. its not crack. its a medicine to some. for me... it helps my patience, and i tend to get a little shaky when i dont smoke. so, to me it depends on how you use what you do. i dont condone school kids getting baked and stuff. im an adult though and as such im able to make my own decisions. right?? besides. how many of you smoke cigarettes and drink? i drink once or twice a month (and get DRUNK off four drinks -2oz whiskey or rum) so i kinda feel like im saving my liver, so i might just as well punish my short term memory and alot of my other brain functions

ive read though that drinking a beer a day can actually make you smarter alot like how (and this is their comparison) how a tiger attacks the slowest weakest animal of the herd, so the rest of the herd can move faster. small amounts of liquor attack the slower weaker brain cells, and the brain can only function as fast as the slowest one.

mind you i think this study was sponsored by like molson or something. lol

bong and a dremel and have at er

questionable substances and power tools are NOT a good combination...

[SofaKingWeToddDid]

i have an extra UIM. maybe i should polish the bumps out of it one day, just sit there with the bong and a dremel and have at er

[robertisaar]

Oh. Ok, thanks.

I guess I'll have to go to an exhaust shop and have them custom fab a downpipe for it. I was trying to avoid any extra cost, but this is a required thing. I need the motor to breathe.

any good with a dremel or an air die-grinder? you can open them up quite a bit. won't flow as well as the 3100 logs will, but it would help. also take a look at the REAL inner diameter of the downpipe when you pull the 2.8... you might be surprised...

[2.8 Grand Prix]

Oh I almost forgot, would anyone be interested in a nifty boat anchor, doorstop, or freakin' huge paperweight? As soon as I take all the parts I need off the 2.8, I'll sell it to whoever want's it.

Will the 2.8 exhaust manifolds fit the 3100? I want to use the stock exhaust location.

fit? it should, but the ports don't match very well. so they would work, they just don't flow for shit...

chat: i messaged brad earlier about it, it should be back up in a few days after it gets updated...

[2.8 Grand Prix]

What happened to that IM chat thing? It doesn't show up on my screen anymore.

[2.8 Grand Prix]

Yah. When my Mustang ran, it got fairly good fuel economy. 21-24 mpg hwy.

Being a 2wd and 5 spd, I'd say most likely it has a 2.3L 4 cyl.

my father in law has one... put it in 5th and hold the throttle to the floor while at 55... about a mile later you'll be at 60. decent fuel economy though.

TBI 4-cylinders aren't my favorite kind of truck motor...

Being a 2wd and 5 spd, I'd say most likely it has a 2.3L 4 cyl. Those are bulletproof motors, when they run. LOL. My '87 Mustang that I used to have had a 2.3L. When it ran, it ran good.
