he probably just dumped the muffs to make it more throaty, then gave it a small vacuum leak to make it idle erratically.

Someone HAS to find out how to do it. I think we all secretly want to give our cars a fake lope lol.

You know, if I remember correctly I had a bad hose, and did cause this kind of response. If you guys care to know, mine was about a 1/2" hose , coming out of the back of the upper intake manifold.

Wait...am I the only one who thinks that doing that is the most retarded thing they've ever heard?!! It's like when non-vtec acura owners steal badges off of real vtecs so they can "look" faster. That's lame. WTF?

I agree Twisted.
No matter 'how' this was done, it's a rice mod...

Okay guys did anyone honestly think we were going to use the mod for more than 5 minutes? I thought it would just be a neat trick to pull on a friend, or a way to messwith someone. I wasn't actually going to drive around with it
