I don't know what's more shocking. The fact that dude apparently never heard of steel wool cleaning pads before or the fact that he crammed a butt load of them into his fart can.
He's not the brightest, I'll say that. He's just trying to get around a dumb California noise ticket. He should have kept the pea shooter silencer that came with that fart can. This reminds me of when I was in CA and had my CRX. Cops had a road block and were checking for noisy exhausts / emissions violations. I was sneaky and did something similar. I took off my socks and shoved them up the tailpipe. It got me by lol.
This kid gets wet when it rains...cause he's too stupid to get out of it. His parents should be beat.
That's not even steel wool...they are Brilo-Pads with the F'n soap on them. Our hobby is in serious jeopardy with these idiots next in line. His destiny is easy to see..."You want fries with that?"
It was a temporary fix that worked, I'm not gonna fault him for that. Although I prefer the sound of my journal bearing muffler over a fart can stuffed with brillo pas lol.
I really don't want to beat up on this kid too bad. We were all teenagers once and some of us did not have fathers who knew their way around cars. Sometimes I think back to some of the crap I did when I was 16-17 and cringe big time. Stuff as bad as this. But I turned out ok. Just look at my build thread below if you don't believe me.
