- KenSPT, on 01/03/2008, -4/+90I once blew cats in my car, but then my Mother explained that sex with animals is immoral ...
- FLUX, on 01/03/2008, -1/+47the story is good, but why does every idiot with a video have to put the loud hard rock music and spend the first 2 min in monologue just show me the interesting part and be done
- 2oonhed, on 01/03/2008, -1/+35That's the trouble with changing a whole bunch of things all at once. Now, when it acts up, you can't tell which thing you did wrong.
- IHaveIssues, on 01/03/2008, -1/+34"felt like the whole house was going to blow up” ....Hardly.
- mongrel, on 01/03/2008, -3/+36I hate rich people.
- smacksaw, on 01/03/2008, -8/+40You knew it was going to end badly when his big-ass 4-door sedan actually has "Vette Eater" vanity plates on it. Already the guy is not thinking clearly.
- DarkStalker, on 01/03/2008, -1/+26I sat here watching this video and kept waiting and waiting for anything resembling the house blowing up. Instead, we got some small pops. Yay.
- ftx437, on 01/03/2008, -1/+25wow...that is freaking hilarious and he just let it keep going..
- borez, on 01/03/2008, -1/+24"That's what he needs right there?" And turns the camera to an orange Lamborghini ??
Mate...orange?
Really! - luchid, on 01/03/2008, -1/+21Def not what rich people do. Probably just middle class and up to his ears with debt.
- Kronos6948, on 01/03/2008, -0/+18Maybe it was just pooping vette parts?
- DrivinWest, on 01/03/2008, -2/+19Unless you live in a hovel, bike to work, and spend your holidays volunteering, STFU.
- tinkertoy, on 01/03/2008, -1/+17BRAINS < MONEY
- powerhouse, on 01/03/2008, -1/+16The CTS-V is basically a 4 door corvette.
- Sharky35, on 01/03/2008, -0/+13He's running way rich and his timing is way off. Basically, his air/ fuel mix is igniting in the exhaust and not in the cylinder.
But +1 on the dumbass factor.
Or... he might have intentionally driven a spike through his cats and we are seeing the aftermath as looses chunks make their way through the exhaust system. If you look at the video, you'll see where there are already loose chunks on the floor before he starts the car....
+2 on the dumbass chart if he did this. - subliminalurge, on 01/03/2008, -3/+16***** you. If I spend 40 hours every week working my ass off, I'll spend my paychecks any way I damn well please. Who the ***** are you to tell other people what they should be doing with their hard-earned money?
- inactive, on 01/03/2008, -1/+12and you call someone "done"....
- lucutus, on 01/03/2008, -0/+11Actually I knew what he messed up after the first backfire. He should have shut it off and checked his wires & MSD setup, but instead he just ruined his cat's and he'll have to replace them before he can pass emissions.
- Shaggy6ster, on 01/03/2008, -3/+14Genius?
- hexx54, on 01/03/2008, -2/+11"***** the CTS, get this thing"
- UnaClocker, on 01/03/2008, -1/+10The parts coming out the exhaust were clearly pieces of his catalytic converter. It's quite possible that while he was installing the cat-back exhaust, he rammed his cats a couple times with a rod through the center. This is a common practice done to remove the restriction that the cat will put on the engine. Judging by the fact that they were videoing the tailpipes and not the engine upon startup, I'm almost certain that's what they had done to the cat. If you want to know what a catalytic converter is, or how it works, use Wikipedia.
- BillDoE, on 01/03/2008, -1/+10It always amazes me that a frigging moron such as this can make enough money to ruin such nice *****?
- ViRaZ, on 01/03/2008, -2/+11"VETEATR"? Not any more.
- iticu, on 01/03/2008, -0/+8I bet you there's atleast 10 things you own that was made by slaves, so ..
- mdvaldosta, on 01/03/2008, -5/+13Darwin candidate, almost!
- AlexanderBlue, on 01/03/2008, -2/+10I wouldn't have defended them a few years ago, but now I have to ask: What's wrong with Cadillac? The latest generations of the CTS and STS are actually VERY nice cars. I just went car shopping with some friends of mine that were looking to buy a luxury sedan. I had them test drive a number of different cars, including cars from Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar, Lexus, Infiniti, Acura, and Cadillac (we skipped Audi due to friends' negative ownership experiences). They were actually biased against Cadillac at the outset, but we were all impressed by the new CTS.
My point: Yes, a Caddy. - PhrosTT, on 01/03/2008, -1/+9i don't know ***** about cars. why did he need all that other ***** to switch out the turbo? and how do parts end up coming out your exhaust?
- Jerk, on 01/03/2008, -0/+8See DrivinWests comment on how to properly reply to someone who readily admits that they don't know what they're talking about. There's a way to do it without being a douchebag. Your comment only proves that you you're a dick that likely knows about as much about cars as the OP.
- UoMDeacon, on 01/03/2008, -2/+9So what is it that you drive?
- Otto, on 01/03/2008, -1/+8No, you showed yourself to be a complete and total hypocrite, you moron. You're complaining about people being enslaved and people doing other things than helping, and yet you are sitting there typing in comments on Digg. Nice one, you idiot.
- DaleoftheUK, on 01/03/2008, -2/+8That dick deserves it, ha.
- akatherder, on 01/03/2008, -0/+6Yep, they stopped making Oldsmobiles in 2004ish. I bought a 1996 Grand Royale with 40,000 miles on it for $2700 last year. It's a boat but it still get decent gas mileage and runs great.
- Vonzell, on 01/03/2008, -0/+6He should change his plate to CATEATER
- DrivinWest, on 01/03/2008, -1/+7More turbo = more air. Generally, you need more fuel as well to maintain the right fuel-air mixture, hence a modification of the fuel supply as well (probably just larger injectors, maybe a larger pump as well).
The turbo is actually part of the exhaust. The exhaust spins an impeller that is attached to a rotor/impeller/screw that forces more air into the engine on the induction side. If the turbo fails on the exhaust side, parts can come out the back.
BTW, the video is down for me so I'm not 100% sure that's what happened. - MDKAOD, on 01/03/2008, -1/+7All that money to throw around and he is using an AOL email account.
- mustache, on 01/03/2008, -0/+6What the hell did you just say?
- valkyries, on 01/03/2008, -2/+8its actually not a very big car at all, and it has vette guts.
- moofer, on 01/03/2008, -1/+6Q: When you turn your car on, does it return the favor?
A: Uh... no. - daridave, on 01/03/2008, -1/+6Wow, that must have been a cute child/mother conversation. lol...
- powerhouse, on 01/03/2008, -1/+5Every review I've read says otherwise, I assume you've actually driven one and are not just talking out of your ass because you once drove a 1985 Chevy caviler right? I'm no GM fan but you have to give credit where its due.
- BLKMGK, on 01/03/2008, -2/+6Pthh, no turbo on that car YET if you read carefully, I didn't see the plumbing for it nor an intercooler. He's got the ignition wired wrong from the look of it or he got stupid with the injector driver box. To be running the injector box there has to be more going on there than what was mentioned - injector swap for sure but then what's controlling them? If nothing is pulling back the pulse width then hell yeah it's being overfueled. It's simply backfiring through the exhaust and killed the cats when it did. Once trashed it's not likely it's going to do too much more harm to let it run a little longer - unless it backfires through that nice phenolic intake... :-)
- kcb2, on 01/03/2008, -1/+5Here's a direct link to the YouTube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDvmjk6LHYU - lucutus, on 01/03/2008, -0/+4If you listen someone in the video mentions the wonder if it would still pass emissions.
- signal15, on 01/03/2008, -0/+3He installed all new coils. Since it was backfiring like crazy, he probably mixed up a couple of the wires and one or more cylinders was firing with the exhaust valve open. You can certainly shatter a cat from just backfires depending on the cats. There are metal and ceramic cats, and the ceramic ones will break easily.
- moofer, on 01/03/2008, -1/+4A ceramic honeycomb with a catalyst and a metallic can which houses the complete assembly. No asbestos.
- UNL1M1T3D, on 01/03/2008, -0/+3Interesting part? Wait I missed something?
- AlexanderBlue, on 01/03/2008, -1/+4Bush hates midgets.
- jeuhrn, on 01/03/2008, -0/+3The email on the end says "to Oslo 4 me", but I can tell you, Norway doesn't want this guy.
- luma, on 01/03/2008, -0/+3It was definitely something wrong with his ignition and new engine management. Backfiring to the point where you're blowing chunks of platinum out of your cat is a pretty good sign of that :P
My favorite bit: "Think it will pass inspection?" - Otto, on 01/03/2008, -0/+3entrophize: Oh, so you spend a lot of money on a charity? Good for you, I bet you feel much better about yourself.
However, some of us don't feel guilty about every little thing we do, and so we're okay with ourselves. So thanks for the advice, but you know what? Shove it. -
