Excellent! Does this effect the muffler bearings in any way? |headscratch|

Of course. That extra heat dries out the muffler bearing grease. That prevents the exhaust from moving when the engine is under load, With out the torque applied to the motor mounts, but instead throught the stuck exhaust system with dry bearings, the torque won't get to the rear wheels, and further slowes the car down.

Woo, I hope no one believes this. |withstupid| |headscratch| |laugh| |laugh|

now you tell me! printed out this tread and took it with me to NAPA looking for some muffler bearing grease. didin't know if general purpose grease would hold up to the heat. the guy at NAPA asked to make a copy of the thread then sent me to Advance because they were fresh out of bearing grease.
the guy behind the counter at Advance just smiled and told me to go to Autozone since he doesn't carry it.
the guy behind the counter at Autozone said that they only sell muffler bearing grease at their Cuyahoga Falls store. hey Ken, isn't that where you work? |laugh|

You should only be carefull to inhale the burning rubber from your own tires. Second hand smoke has been proven to be bad for your health. The only option? WIN! Go Faster than the other guy! |thumb|

I've been waiting for someone to say a high torque starter was the only way a rice burner could get off the line! |laugh|
