What are you calling a "fart pipe"? I'm not familiar with that usage.

We sell glass packs and headers and some "speed shop" stuff. The "speed"
equipment doesn't move very well. And most of the glass packs are sold as
replacements for resonators or mufflers that are *expensaive* in direct
replacement configurations. And catalytic converters? Fuggitaboudit

'Druther they do stupid stuff TO their cars than WITH their cars. But,
They'll live and learn - or they won't live long. Like the three guys
riding crotch rockets that passed me on their back wheels like a pay
wagon passing a tramp. I was on the interstate goinf 10 over the limit
when these three, standing on their pegs and riding the wheelie passed
in the hammer lane at at least 30 mph faster than I was going. YIKES!

It takes very litte to make a situation like that go sideways.
