Worthless Mods Lets Here Them


Recommended Posts

Like some others have mentioned, I think the "Chrome" exhaust tip has to be one of the candidates here. Most of them are all of 4 - 6 inches long and you can plainly SEE where they are mounted and the skinny pipe going into it. Who is that fooling?

Although not inexpensive, "ghetto-rich" wheels and tires. Any kind of under-vehicle lighting except trouble lights. Cheap-*ss front-end lighting improperly aimed. "Buick" portholes, even on a Buick. ANYTHING hanging from the rear-view mirror.

This from Kenne Bell Superchargers.

 

 

What is the most ridiculous aftermarket product? Hands down, it's the "little intake fans" and the "throttle body spacers" with the bore grooves.

 

Right there on the list has to be those "underhood exposed filters" that suck in 200° underhood air instead of ambient (70°-100° air from the fenderwell). 10° air temp rise is -1% HP. That's how dynos are calibrated for temperature changes. Does anyone really believe that all those OEM manufacturers designed expensive plastic inlet systems - for the last 20 years - that pull cool air from the fenderwell, hood or grill because they didn't have anything else to spend their money on?

 

Then there's those "factory calibrated" mass air meters that do not use a chip or re-calibrated processor with oversize injectors. They unwittingly reduce the voltage signal to the mass air meter to compensate for the larger injectors at WOT but they neglect all the driveability issues. The result is over advancing timing, lean mixtures, detonation, surging, bucking etc.

I called it "Autozoned" out. All the chrome stick on sh^t you can imagine. Esp the chrome door trim, that is pimp! Spending thousands on stereo equipment and yet the tires are bald. Fake roll bars. Led flashing tire stem caps. The calvin "p^ss on" stickers. Confederate flags. (Guy I know PAINTED a full one on his tailgate). Flexible muffler pipe so you can cut out the muffler. Euro Tail lights. Trim bezels for license plates. Truck nuts. Cheap @$$ overlays for the gauge cluster. Bullet hole stickers. Long antennas and fiberglass markers for the front bumper on a half ton.

 

 

You said it all, man. I HATE all that stuff, especially the stick-on vents and euro tail lights. Sometimes I'll see a nice Chevy or GMC from the front and I'll think " Hey, that's a good looking truck" but then it drives by and I'll see the tail lights and it makes me wanna :thumbs: . Oh yeah... too much chrome sucks, too.
