I need a pic of a camera...because I can't tell if I have a camera or a CD player. It is one weird looking CD player if it is one.

Still :lala: about this whole "I need a picture and I'm too lazy to go look for one myself so somebody post one" thing happening here in thirdgen.org land.

PS: check under Exhaust on thunderracing.com they sell Random Tech cats.

Here ya go, . The cat will be right after your y-pipe not far from the front wheels. There should be a metal tube coming out the side of it. That's one of the hookups for emissions.

Of course thats two cats you see in the pic above . Not all of our cars (camaros/firebirds) have dual cats . Mine doesn't of course b/c I have a V6 .Not all of the V8s do ;Im not real familar with which ones do and which ones don't . Just giving you some thirdgen knowledge to nibble on Don't let people discourage you from asking questions .

Me neither, so I hit the library, bookstore, etc. Bought a Chilton's for my car and covered the basics. Upgraded to a Helms and really got into details. I then hit the aftermarket with Vizard and Baechtel's books on engine building, Herb Adams on handling, Paul van Valkenburg's book on racing car setup was a real score.

The result was that I shaved 3sec off my lap time at Pocono two weeks ago by applying what I had read. I set up a 20 year old car that runs low 13's @ 105mph on the strip, finished top 10 at Pocono, and passes NJ treadmill emission inspection...all on the same chip.

Ah well, if you want to get spoon-fed a little at a time I guess someone will indulge you here.

There's nothing wrong with learning from asking questions . Different learning styles for different folks . I, myself, learn both ways , from reading and asking questions .

So.....what is the point of this or any board then? A forum to pontificate about how knowledgable we all are? Kinda goes back to what Mom said, " If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say antything."

No, critical not hypocritical. If I blasted people for their ignorance and posted what I did, then I would be a hypocrite.
Hey, I agree, with minimal research the answer could probably have been found. However I remember the last time this board was torn apart by people flamespraying each other. When I see a post of dubious nature, I usually just click on to the next topic.

KEVINC- I dont know about you but I work all day long and have minimal time to do anything.......So I ask for a little help and your @ss has to b*tch about it. I had never seen a cat and was trying to figure something out. Congratu----f*cking lations on your hard study habits in becoming a car gewroo. But as you can see nobody here wants to listen to your crap and I am definently one of them.........So like I said before and what everyone else is thinking..........If youre not here to help then dont waste your breathe or my time!

To Everyone Else.....Thank you

And Vader.............How did I know it would be you to post that pic of a cat!!!
