Yep. On my old Tempo, it would sound like there was rocks shaking around in it, and after a short highway drive you could look under the car, and it would be red hot. I hated that car. It was such a turd...:D

saw them bishes off, take a big hammer and a punch, hollow them out and slap them back in place(if you dont have to pass the sniffer test) wont ever have to worry bout them clogging again

Same here. I don't have the smell but where my TQ is supposed to kick in it is completely gone. Civics stay side by side with me.

I don't even race anymore because Im so turdish.

I havent checked the redhot color yet.
