04-09-07, 17:35 GMT+10#43 steel wool is actually a top idea, shove it in, when they are behined the car if they say "too loud" wait till they are in the "firing line" and put your foot down, will choke and then HOPEFULLY shoot them with half molten ball of steel wool, and say my car had a hairball!

06-09-07, 22:20 GMT+10#44 haha i tried the steel wool idea.. its sort of stopped the popping/backfire but the exhaust sounded pretty loud still!
Anyway i did the test and the steel wool i jammed right up in teh exhaust spat out and hit the tripod and knocked it over lol..
Luckily it wasnt EPA that did the test!
