I cut it up to se what was inside

But bring the old one back down here and ill fix it

I've got a couple of mufflers off 60 and 80 series diesel that will do the job that you can have for nix, you know where I live - if you want them I'll just leave them out the front.


PS good work

Bet it scared the kids though

You were doing key bangers werent you???



I have done them before and got the same results!

I could never get the old key banger to work. Dunno why??? Tried numerous times.

Cruise in gear, flip the switch off, pump the throttle and flick the key back on. What was I doin wrong??

I use to start in 5th. turn it off, pump it, go through the gears till it was down to second still pumping, then with full pedal turn the key!!!!

BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give a good foot of flames if i was diong above 60 to start with!

yer mate key bangers they were. most of the time i did it in third and didnt really have to pump that much (only once most of the time), but that time i was in second and holy dooley it was a biggun little punks threw their hands over their heads and one fella hit the deck

pmsl, I am gunna try it on the way to work in my new/old corolla then

haha nice... did that in a mates corrlloa comin off the m4 ad there was a gorup of tourists waitng to cross the road... haha they all dived on tha ground

Well your lucky, u did that by accident. i was heading out for a weekend once, just driving along and BANG! the whole muffler split in two. Fark it was loud on the drive home. sounded sweet aswell.

hmm sounds like a nice big 8 now

My gf's bro just started his petty lux one day an it went caboom. He went back in the workshop and welded in a straight through and it was fricken loud

peoples, after talking to a few mechanics about key bangers, i have been told you can blow head gaskets this way, have seen the headgasket go straight after one, and wasnt he pissed.

Sounds odd to me because the unburnt fuel will be pumped into the headers so shouldn't pose any real threat upon the engine itself IMO. Correct me if I'm wrong.

yer i havent even tried to do it again since, well once. never again, i swear.

well im only saying what ive been told my a few mechanics, and by a few, i mean 4 mechanics,

it came up, when i borrowed a mates VH commo, and it blew the head gasket while i was out, Hes a mechanic, so i took it to his work, and he diagnosed the prob, was the headgasket, via "extreem" moisture pissing out the exhaust, and the bloke who he work with, were saing that i had been doing keybangers, which i wassnt, and they informed me, that it can be a cause for head gasket failure.

i guess if the unburnt fuel ignites as far up the exaust and into the head itself (just past the exaust valves) that'd be a fair wallop of pressure that the head gasket wasn't designed for

I told ya so!!!!!!
but nice work mate

i think the 'key' to a good loud key banger, is for the engine to be deccelerating from fairly high revs.

i once did one by accident, when i ran out of fuel at about 70-80km/h.
didnt bother to put the clutch in, and for some stupid reason, tried to start the piece of cr@p up again.

basically the same thing thing happened to my standard vitara muffler. blew it wide open.

and now with a more flowing exhaust system, and larger rear section (cat back 2.25"), the bangs arent as loud anymore, so i dont even worry about trying them.

do you think it would be silly of me to remove my muffler & put a piece of pipe in its place? it is a 2 & 1/4" and i think it would sound sweeet!!! but i might attract to much attention to myself

Surely this is "chit chat", not tech????

But its funny

thought about that. but a mate of mine said i might lose compression in the engine. i found that hard to believe, but you can never be sure so i posted in tech.

yar as good as it does sound, i have to be careful. Whenever i see a cop i drive in a gear higher then normal or dont accelerate at all if possible.

Im gunna go and test the key banger in this corolla this morning then. Ill post up this arvo and tell ya if I have a blown exhaust
