Worthless Mods Lets Here Them

[clemsonblozz]

Ya gotta love the mexi-mobiles with the decals of the virgin mary or a freakin bramaha bull on the back glass

saw someone put flowmasters or exhaust changes. To me a V-8 with nice exuast tone sounds awsome now is that a mod? being older (46) I see posted here and other places "check out my mods" of which most of the time consist of bolt on stuff, billit thingys and host of other interior or body bolt on stuff including wheels, tires, lifts what and what ever else.

 

Being from an older generation the term "Mods" just does not ever bring to my mind these days anything performance. Magazines, online forums and global car/truck clubs etc have changed the terminolgy used these days.

 

The term "bolt On" was used pretty much for long time and seems to be going away aslo and it's just been shorted to "mod".

 

The term "mod" makes me think of guys riding vespas with more rear view mirriors on them than one would ever need and wearing old 60'-70's style parkas with the fuzzy trim around the hood.

 

I am very glad to see forums like this and people into the automotive hobby no matter what their intrest is be it rice, muscle cars, trucks or ?? It does our hobby good and it brings to market many things that we can put on our daily drivers to improve fit form or function and personal styling tastes (I reserve the right to think some people should be shot for what they think looks cool ) Just think all that stuff you don't like keeps places in business to make the stuff you do like.

 

I don't like fart pipes on trucks or the little import cars but if they have to sell milloins to keep the muffler or exhaust systems cheap that I like to buy then so be it. I see the stuff I don't like and it's pure entertainment for me.......most of the time it's better than hearing a good dirty joke!!

 

So back to the exhaust.....I don't think it s a mod, to me it's an inhancement. It brings out the true sound that my V-8 should make and it's not toned down to fit the masses. I was able to personalize it just for my liking and if you don't like your wlecome to change it back and make my truck payments while I still drive it just to keep you happy

How about this

[AlenWoods]

That brings a tear to my eye that poor blue truck

A useless item on a truck IMO are hood scoops.

 

I also get a big laugh is those huge mufflers on these econo-box cars. I seen on the other day that was sticking out from the rear of the car a good foot and was about 4+ inches in diameter and looked like crap.

I will subscribe to the "Z'06 Vehicle Adornment School of Good Taste" and pledge to never buy anything for my truck from the accessory department at WalMart. Anybody else willing to step up?

 

Cheap-*ss DOES have it's limits!

 

I pledge not to buy vehicle adornment accessories from Walmart, too. Or Pep Boys, Autozone, or Kragen for that matter.

 

 

Don't forget the JC Whitney aluminum foil wrapped bulldog hood-ornament with the bulb in it so the eyes glow urine yellow at night....

 

I dunno what it is around here, but around XMAS, the WalMart Rudolph-the-red-nose-reindeer nose on the grill and the clip-in-the-windows fuzzy deer antlers...(gotta set to sell....CHEAP....PM me )

 

A little lower on the list: Grannatelli/Crapatelli mass air flow sensors ...

 

EDIT: whoops....forgot SLICK50 ...

Obama stickers...especially the life-sized stickers of his head lol

This isn't a mod, but how about a 40-post thread on whether you sit up straight or lean back? Useless covers it, I guess.

[takevin]

Should we include the stick-on hood scoops????

 

Only if their not tasteful, what about side steps when you dont have a lifted truck??

[BigBlueLB756]

If your old lady says put them on, you put them on.

Don't get me wrong - I love the sound of Flowmasters, and I love hearing a V8 not being plugged up. Just trying to point out for the performance-oriented that Flowmasters do not offer the same performance gains that straight-through non-chambered designs like Magnaflow offer. The PCM tuners will tell you the same thing.

 

For the performance-oriented:

Flowmaster for sound

Magnaflow for performance & some sound

Corsa for performance, no drone, and some sound (if Touring) and more sound (if Sport)

You know that there are more than 3 aftermarket exhaust manufacturers?

I agree with the chrome fuel doors
