What type of components do you have....the reason I ask is because if you are running extremely high draw ones i.e. Pyramid or Legacy - that could be contributing to your problem. But it still sounds like a mechanical problem... Does the problem go away when the car warms up? Do you get a check engi...

Re: Aveo Exhaust Secrets Revealed!

I now run almost dead even with an 05 focus with about 155-160 hp from a cat-back, cai, and throttle body. I also have a friend who has a 92 acura legend with a stock 3.2l v6 that runs 8.1 sec. 0-60 stock, and yes...I have raced him....He always eventually beats me by about 3/4-1 car length at abou...

so zinc would be a bad thing then....the reason I ask is because the fact that I thought a brake pad should be smooth not rough, because if it is rough won't it score and scratch the rotor?? or am I totally crazy?

What is the benefit of removing your rear resonator?
