  1. i say dont put it on... find a local junk yard... get a muffler from another pathy and put it on there... not worth spending extra cash on something new that your not gonna use later.... If you cant get to a junk yard then i can get to one for you soon and get you one... just pay shipping.... and just pay the cost of the muffler...
  2. Send it back... get the larger pipe size.... go 2.5" exhaust... the whole thing is that if your looking for it to keep performance... you will still have performance... but why not up to the larger pipe and get MORE performance... so it will be a little more expensive... but in the end its worth it cause it will sound nice and yet be more performance...
  3. Thats what i thought about doing... as well.... i just am wondering if the stuff works...
  4. Its one of those "stupid laws" that just doesnt make sense..... the whole reason why I am saying to put a down pipe is its a "loop hole".... You can see the exhaust if you lean down but from a regular view you cant.... so technically i am following the idiot law....
  5. Thats what I thought.... I just wanna get rid of the gunk and nastiness that builds up under valve covers w/o taking them off....
  6. Don't mean to brag.... but i am pretty advanced in my knowledge of cars (especially for a HS student). I take working on cars seriously. Just for the record, I just finished rebuilding my dads 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Transmission about a month ago.... And I rebuilt the front 1/2 of a 1993 Toyota Camry engine- Water pump, alternator, AC compressor....everything that runs on the Serpentine belt. I also installed a new intake gasket on a 1998 Buick Le Sabre With the supercharger.... Sever brake, trans, oil, struts, plugs and wires jobs i have done... Basically Cars are life for me... Like I said... don't mean to brag... I just wanted people to know what my experience level is..... Yeah I got a TBI and I love it.... and I heard about your situation with your valves bending... thats why i asked so i don't have to do what you had to go through....
  7. I am just trying to find out if there is a way to build some power through electronics vs a mechanical means..... Anyone know if they make like super chips for pathfinders? cause i know that they make performance chips for most vehicles.....
  8. For starters.... thats disgusting... This is a CAR forum so therefore its gotta be related to cars.... And to float your boat.... http://www.zmax.com/ Its a Micro Lubricant... for engines...
  9. Generally how difficult is it to do that on a 1-10? 1-replacing a bad fuse 5- motor swap 10-rebuilding the whole car Reason I am asking is cause I have heard dozens of stories of people not able to get their cars running again cause they messed with the timing... puts a little fear into the though of replacing them....
  10. Is there an aftermathet ECU available for WD21's? Like does MSD make one or something like that? Or is flashing the stock ECU the only way to get performance from the ignition?

    Zmax

    Anyone know or actually tried the product ZMAX or a product like it with the same principles? I am kinda skeptical about It and doubt that it really works... Just curious to know if it really works or if it's just a product pushed by advertising....
  12. Then it's probably been replaced at one point or several times..... Should I replace it considering I'm not sure the last time it was replaced? If it's wearing I know it's time...
  13. ok so my timing belt hasn't gone yet, but I fear it is close to going with 250,000+ miles on it. Should I replace I replace my timing belts now while I am doing some serious work on the engine and front end to save me from internal problems later on down the road? Or should I let it go and pray that when it goes I don't have any serious problems?
  14. if your making NPORA sticker logos (that's what I think you said) I am up for buying one!
  15. I actually had a friend with a 95 ford ranger and he cut his bed out, made compartments in the bed... welded the bed back up, then put some logs in the back and he ended up being able to carry so much stuff... no dogs or anyone found what was in the bed.... it was air tight welding...
  16. Haven't been able to with all the rain that the south east has been having... I am gonna try this afternoon... I just wanted some clarification on this matter And the starter is fine... Turns the motor very nicely.... Motor just won't catch and go...
  17. Ok for running ECU codes, my automotive instructor says that I have took get my pathfinder to the dealer to get it looked over.... Is this entirely true or is there a scanner that I can get myself (that I can use on other vehicles) to check the codes? And could someone explain to me what it means to "flash" an ecu? I have seen that a few times and don't know what that means....
  18. Shopkey5.com Create an account... its pretty reasonable considering you have access to EVERY CAR ever made...(since 1972) you will find almost every diagram there....
  19. Didnt realize that you said that... I posted that last one by me from my ipod touch and could hardly read what you said.... I guess your was would work too... I was just suggesting a good way to up to a larger pipe... never thought about cutting slices in the pipe...
  20. Really there is a way to make it work without welding but you will have leak problems possibly. You can go to 2" with almost no problems, you just need to get an adapter from stock 1.875" to 2 or 2.5"... Then you will be fine. And don't go any higher than 2.5" if you do make it bigger, cause you will have very little back pressure....
  21. just trying to do what I can with what I have...
  22. Simple, yet effective muffler system: 1. Starting at the end of your manifolds, take crime there back out... But save it for parts... 2. Go to advance auto parts, get a flange kit, then an adapter to go up to 2" or 2.5"(max) 3. Get a thrush turbo muffler (it's like $20 and reversable- 2 sounds in one) 4. Get various lengths of straight pipe( depending on where you want it to exit at) 5. Get a universal sport cat(legal in CA I believe) 6. Put the cat about 3-6" closer to the manifold 7. Put the muffler 3-16" back from the cat (affects loudness and tone) 8. Get a curve piece and make it come out the side of the car... 9. If you live in NC/SC- hidden exhaust is illegal on non lifted vehicles, if you have a lift 3" or more then put a down pipe after the muffler cause you can see the tip making it legal That is what I will be doing... Cheap and effective... Hope it helps...
