Today's prize for utter stupidity goes to...........

[Rovinghawk]

........the guy who needed to extend an exhaust and did so by jubilee-clipping a piece of 2.5" plastic drainage pipe to the backbox.

He didn't realise until a bit too late that hot exhaust gases might melt the plastic & cause minor chaos.

Anyone else have tales of incredible dimness?

Put this on your pipe and smoke it!

Sounds like the sort of person who would use a dustbin on there corsa as an exhaust.

What an idiot! Everyone knows you only use plastic pipe on the turbocharger.

That's fantastic. According to the link the complete biscuit responsible for this runs it as seen, with no exhaust on the exposed turbine. The noise must be apocalyptic, as must be the jet of flame and exhaust gas that is currently cooking the alternator and melting the wiring on it.

Reminds me of the Spanish Tuner, a legendary thread discussed on these fora before... It starts on page 2, after a promising first few posts. Use of rigid piping for everything on the induction system seems to relate to the pics above nicely, and wasn't successful !

Utterly inspired .

Love it, litterally a "Drainpipe Exhaust", makes a change from a "Big Boar"

Hey guys, I've got a 98 1.8T. I've had a k04 and chip for a while and wanted to get more performance. I was recommended to port and polish the intake and exhaust. We found out they used abrasive material to do it like gritty sand. So I got with my friend that tunes Hondas and we decided to try it ourselves. We got a bag of sandblasting sand and hooked up into the intake and started the car. We had to hold the gas so it would run. He wanted to let the engine suck in the sand through the intake so it would port it out and then push it out the ehxaust so it would port the exhaust manifold.

I was worried that it might cause problems but he figured it'd be OK as long as we didn't make boost and it get sucked in the turbo. After running the car and letting it suck in sand we got about half way through a 25 lb bag. The check engine light was on and the engine was bucking and kicking and sounding really weird. We stopped and hooked the car back up normal and took off the sand supply. We tried to start it again and it was really hard. Once started it couldn't idle and kept making weird noises. We took it out and drove it and it started to make scraping and knocking noises.

Just all of it -
