Default A few questions ?

I am just wondering if we have a few answers to these questions,

Have we decided what is the best exhaust, Borla or Magnaflow ?

Does your thermostat temp have to exactly match your fan switch temp ?

Are drilled rotors a good idea ?

Do "cold air intakes" make more power ?

Is it a good idea to shop on craigslist for a C4 ?

What are the best C4 performance mods ?

just wonderin' - happy 1st of April everyone

I can't believe nobody has answered any of these thought provoking questions. I'll try to help you.
1) Them fancy eggsausts ain't what you need. Just a couple of pieces of straight pipe,some coat hangars, 2 glass packs and some muffler tape.

2) I usually just set my thermostat at 78. I don't think the switch on my fan has a temperature setting. If I get hot, I turn it on.

3) Yes. Easy way to make them yourself. You just need a skeet thrower and a shotgun

4) Yeah, but they're expensive. I just cut a flap in the hood and pried it up with a couple of pieces of wood. Then just stapled some screen over the hole.

5) I don't think the government wants you buying c4, especially from some guy named Craig.

6) What's a mod? Is that something from that tv show from back in the day?

I hope that helped.

Answers to all of these questions are available in the "Search" section of this form, and have been discussed many times. Your question about the best C4 performance mods is too vague. C4's from '84 to '96 are vastly different, and the answer depends upon the depth of your pockets!

Your question also sounds very appropriate for "Fools Day"!

French Kisses are like Aussie Kisses, but Aussie kisses are down under. My wife is an Aussie Shelia and she hates that joke.

yes, its an april fool question, just having a joke about the regular questions that no one can agree on

having said that, this forum is good in that a lot of people do question things at a deeper level and the bs flag gets raised pretty quickly where its deserved,
some forum sites i have looked at while googling stuff I have seen people write rubbish and then everyone else gladly agree !
I guess the "lively debates" of cf keep everyone honest
