does it flex or anything? to me it seems like a smooth pipe without the "accordian" would flow smoother/better...

They exist, but other than appearance, there's no reason to consider them. Unless of course you find you need to replace a torn one and these are equally cheap. Some complained of fitment around the PS reservoir. I think there was a post on Supramania the other day on it. Search there.

i just picked up these chrome saw blades with pretty good bridgestone t/a tires...for a pretty decent price, and tha guy was telling me how i should put an aluminum pipe...he said he used 2 do everything aluminum...guy knew his shit, and does custom lowriders for a living...he also told me about lizard skin? some sound deadener that i could use instead of dynomat...n e one herd about that? he said its like 125 for a gallon, and u can use that gallon for 2-3 cars...it just sprays down rather than pasting it.

albertmdh · 05-09-2005, 08:34 AM

***bgrieger*** · 05-09-2005, 09:03 AM

Also known as asphalt undercoating. I'll sell you as much as you want at $125 a gallon...stuff's worth about $20...

cool, i just ordered some, i'm gonna do tha inside and underneath tha car...i hope my paint gun works lol...another question, i haven't searched to c if it was posted, but has anyone heard of a chip called UNICHIP? its like an 800 dollar chip...and everytime u make a modification to your car, you can reprogram the chip so that it is programmed to run at its best with that mod? i have a guy making my intake manifold with IC hard pipes, and figured now wouldn't be a bad time to install it.

There is not a chip you can just burn and put into the computers. The only ones that work are daughter card mods.

However, from my research, the UNICHIP is a piggy back computer. But based on the common Supra mod list and all, it's not a wise upgrade. There's much better things to be done w/$800 than a UNICHIP.
