Reaper, don't waste your time, he's just looking for excuses to whore. Example: 'I see :elefant: '


dandman, could you give a little more of an explanation of how that would work? I'm kinda fed up with what I've got and am open to anything.

ok
the article was from a mag called supercar, from 1988! it wasnt in detail, and the car wasnt a gn, its a dodge daytona, they just said they fiddled with it until it gave the desired effect, but looking at those reg at a pet store, i can see how it bleeds air, for like $1.50

the fishtank valve is just your basic bleeder valve. it works quite well. you may have to get used to the hissing in the passenger compartment.

I've also heard you can slap in a pin valve from a water filter system on a 1/8 inch line...all you need are two compression fittings. pretty easy from what I am told, just like the fish tank thingy, but guess what....it is brass...a little tougher, maybe a little more quiet. I used to have a hge fish tank with multiple bubblers....I wonder if you can slap a three stage set-up...like, three different boos settings while driving!!! lol...i know, it is dumb as hell, and who would turn all those knobs??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...someone with only like, ummmm, 5 dollars?
