Check these out.........

My favourite parts:

"The simple truth is that a cut spring can't do its job properly. If you were to hit a bump while driving down the highway at top speed, for example, a cut spring wouldn't be able to absorb the shock of the bump properly, leading you to lose control of your vehicle."

and.....

" A straight exhaust -- one where the baffles inside the muffler permit a straight flow of air from one end to the other -- is usually illegal. The air must be channelled through a series of chambers that are partitioned by baffles. These chambers force the noise to recirculate through the muffler so that by the time the sound exits, it's not as offensive."

I guess every SRT-4 sold in Ontario will include a ticket for the new owner to mail in.

"they will ask the driver if he has notified his insurance company that he's transporting it. If you haven't, then the officer will call your insurance company, informing them that you have nitrous oxide in the vehicle."


Also know as inducing breach of contract and interferring with contractual relations - the cops aren't supposed to be working for the insurance companies.

I never read newspapers - they just **** me off with their dumbass schit..lol

Here's my favorite:

" transporting nitrous oxide is as unsafe -- and unwise -- as driving around with a propane tank in your trunk"

Oh- and who exactly walks to the propane refill depot/station to get a tank for their barbecue refilled?

Any of these genuises ever talk to HVAC technicians? Some of these guys carry propane in their vehicles continously for bleeding/pressurizing/testing AC systems (propane can be released in the atmosphere, unlike R-xx refrigerants).

Lol, that's great

FYI, for those that don't know........SRT-4's don't have mufflers Here in Ottawa, the OPP are carrying sticks around with them to check for "mufflers without restrictions". I have nothing but respect for the majority of the nation's police officers but i'd laugh my *** off watching an officer sticking a broom stick up my exhaust The resulting ticket probably wouldn't be too funny though. I hope they don't have flexible sticks.
