This intake manifold brings more air and exhaust into the car!
And these buttons, when the driver presses them it turns form a regular car into a street racing mobile!

It would be even more LOL if that was just the Apexi RSM (rev speed meter) instead of an actual SAFC.

Its okay, it just makes our cars look and drive slower than they really can.

And this is a good thing because...... :roflpicard: haha
It just sucks to have to turn off the 93+ Programming which we run nonstop over here.

I lived in LA for a year, never saw anything but 91 octane.
Some SICK fast cars though... You drive behind them and realize they are running race fuel :D

Shhh, it was rationalized in my mind for a few mins. Thats all that matters.

Did your eyes burn?!?! Hahahah, I keep 100 octane in the containers at my home.

Guys! We could win tickets to Fleetwood Mac on May 31st. That's what the video said. I'm trying to just focus on this fact... and not about the pain that is that news story.

"This intake manifold brings in more inake and more exhaust into the engine making it very fast, and also very illegal"
LOL!!! OMFG Fox News is staffed by nothing but RETARDS.

BTW my Subaru STI was a cop magnet: I got pulled over on that car like a black man in a white neighbourhood; speeding even if I was doing 5 over, noise violations, random bs, you name it. Lost my driver's license not once but *3* times.
Now I drive a Corvette; took it back and forth across the country 3 times, passed police doing 15MPH over on 5 separate occasions, passed through radar and laser traps doing over the speed limit, and never got pulled over. When I had it in California I got pulled over 4 times (illegal U turn, agressive driving and speeding, expired tags and speeding) and got exactly 1 ticket, which then got dismissed in court.
Moral of the story: The police targed specific cars... I bet if you had that bright yellow Honda with a wing and a fartcan, and I had a Corvette / BMW / Merc / Jaguar, I could pass you on the right doing 20 over and you'd get pulled over for it if you were going 5 over :roflpicard:

My aunt lives in Cali and she is crazy, so I always just assumed the entire state was for crazies.

Indeed it is.
I was at San Diego State back in '01 rolling in a turbo Eclipse GS when we actually had the writers and crew of Fast & Furious 1 come and see what it was like to be "real" racers. Back before NOS was a drink and you could still buy a Supra for under $20K. Every time another racer movie comes out, SD PD gets all pissey. Races just moved an hour north to Del Mar :rolleyes:

Seriously, it doesn't really matter if the cops up the ante, because the racers will too. You might discourage some, but others will endure.
Plus the more harsh the penalties the less likely someone is to stop.
If I knew for a fact that if I pulled over the cops would take my 30K+ car, do you really think I'd stop?
Or do you risk a run, chances are your car is much much faster then a cop car, but much much slower then a radio/choppa. Rolling the dice is better odds then 100% fail!
