Ok here it goes, Tonight me and my friend who drives a fd were trying to get my old exhaust off of my 89 Rx7. For some damn reason it just wouldn't come off. We tried all sorts of lube, we tried hitting it with a hammer, we tried prying it off with a screw driver, we tried pulling and jerking it as hard as we possibly could. It just wouldn't come off. We almost gave up when a crazy(but flawless) idea popped into my head. Why couldn't we just get a rope and tie it to the exhaust and then tie the other end to a big light pole or a tree or something. It was about 9:00 PM and it was already dark. People were starting to go to bed already.. I got my goofy ass out there, backed up to a steel light pole and ran behind my car real quick and did a little triple knot to try and hold the rope. The first try I started off with 0 RPMs and no slack in the rope.....my tires just spun and spun until there was smoke everywhere. I decided to back up and give it some slack and drop it from 7500 RPMs... lol. Now if any of you know what a 13B engine sounds like with no exhaust on it then you know what I'm talking about. Anyways, the next thing i heard was a pretty quiet snap(the exhaust coming off) and then all of a sudden I thought i was at Nascar LOL! I havent heard anything that loud in a loong time. I was about to get out of my car and go pick up the old exhaust...but people were already coming out of their houses to see what the hell that loud rumbling noise was. So i just went home and left it there. Tomorrow i'm gunna put on my Apexi N1 exhaust so that i can drive around without worrying about getting pulled over. Anyways I just thought that 'that' might be something interesting to add to the forums. It sure got my adrenaline pumping. Anyone have similar problems getting their exhaust off of their Rx7??
