Woot, got the wrench out of the Flowmaster this weekend!
 

:w00t: I forget how many years it has been stuck in that muffler but I got sick of staring at the rusty muffler so I started shaking it around and bunch of rust fell out and so did the 3/8 Craftsman wrench! :lol: Now I can throw the muffler out. I'm thinking it was 2004 when I pulled the headers off and dropped the wrench and it slid down the exhaust pipe and into the muffler. :mrgreen:

thats pretty damn funny lol

wait lol...you did that on purpose in 2004?

Nice. Tim dropped a battery tie down in the bug like in December.

Did an oil change this weekend it was in the "engine bay plastic thingy". I was so excited lol

No, I had unbolted the exhaust from the header already and I was taking the header bolts out and dropped the wrench. It never landed on the garage floor, so I didn't know where it went. When I picked up the exhaust pipe/muffler it slid down the pipe and into the muffler. The way the Flowmaster mufflers are made with the deflectors inside, it went in but wouldn't come back out. I wasn't going to waste a sawzall blade cutting open the muffler so it was in there for a few year while the muffler started rusting away.

was it all black and nasty? and i cant believe that it fit throught the first bend in the headers

No, it didn't go through the headers, it went straight into the downpipe. This was on my old 68 Camaro with a 94 LT1 and shorty headers. I took the exhaust off the car so the muffler has been sitting outside rusting for the past5-6 years. I put coated longtube headers on the car and a new exhaust.

Thats pretty funny Jeff, I finally got two sockets and a box wrench back the other day when the boat motor came out. :lol:

sooooo....



...any horsepower gains?:lol:

thats like one of my nice 3/8 drive ratchets i left it on top of the strut tower under the hood or a "premier utility" pontiac vibe. It came back 2-3 months later and it was still in the same spot with my 10mm socket on it.

Less weight of that wrench has got to mean some lower times in the 1/4. :wink:

:rofl::rofl:

first time ive ever heard of that

Thats pretty funny,

The muffler was sitting on the ground in the bushes in front of his house, no HP gains to be had

Actually, there was a horsepower gain, I removed the Flowmaster and put on some straight through Aerochamber mufflers. :nod:

How are the Aerochamber mufflers performing?

I sold that car at least 5 years ago so I can't say at this point. They had a nice sound to them at idle and were very mellow while cruising along, but got pretty loud at WOT.
