Massive G8 Detail Day.

Post your pics of your non-Bonneville, and If you have video footage, we want to see it. Videos must be hosted on external web space and hotlinked to PontiacBonnevilleClub.com. Also discuss mechanical problems regarding your non-bonneville (this is not another lounge, but posts don't count, random car vids not of your cars should be in the lounge)

There's variations, but the basic thing is to put a washer or two in the rear muffler flanges. It creates an exhaust leak by the mufflers that sounds like an axleback exhaust instead of a leak. I've gotten compliments on the idle from complete strangers. ;)
