1. stay in school
2. take more english classes

as far as the car goes, i would take it to the dealership and have them look at it. if there was a problem with the exhaust install the dealer has to fix it. if you can get them to buy back the exhaust do it. that exhaust is pointless, there is no power gain from the trd exhaust. you can put a borla muffler and get the exact same effect, and save a couple hundred bucks.

i agree with souljah , that exhaust is just chaging the rear muffler while keeping the mid muffler (the more restrictive one). ahh soon will come the day when people realize that getting a custom made exhaust is the best/cheapest/most flexible option.

Dont go to the deal and complain about the muffler install as if they did it tho, personally I'm not sure if I would be keen on the idea of a Shop class doing any work on my car.
And for gods sake learn paragraphs and punctuation.

You may want to proof-read what you have written before posting. What's a "flyplane"? Is that similar to a "floatboat", or a "drivecar"? :D

i know i may not be the greatest when it comes to spelling words... but for god sakes are you so dumb that you can't spell "was" you have to say "wuz"? do you think that makes you cool or something? maybe it's not his fault, maybe it's the teachers fault. i know i would blame the school if my kid started speaking/writing like that.

Duh, obviously "wuz" is so much easier and shorter to type, thus saving him time if he were to type the conventional "was".

Default Nice 1.

Ok, sorry for all you losers who just complained about how I typed that paragraph. Maybe I was in a hurry and had to go somewhere and really didn't care about how i typed it? I was just asking for some help or advice on what to do to get my car back to normal. Well for any of you who cared about my topic and not my punctation, my car is fine now. For all of you homo flamers who complained about my punctation and didn't really help me on my car problems; you can go to hell. Oh, and this time I used good punctuation. Asses.

Good to hear your car is fine now. Did you get it fixed? Or did it fix itself?

One bad thing about Scionlife is you'll get a bunch of A-holes that didn't get enough attention from mommy and daddy growing up, so they share their misery on this forum.

If the car injested water it could need to be replaced. water in the oil will kill your engine, scar the pistons ruin compression and cause you to thro a rod through the ... you get the idea. tow the car to the dealership now
