Late night putting build back together..long story short there are 2 notches in a SFI 8 rib and apparently I put it on the wrong one cause this happened at midnight last night when I was cranking it...

Loudest bang ever in a garage...I have seen a different post about mufflers blowing out but didn't think it could happen..lmao..good thing I got a 3 inch waiting to put on but damn!!! Booth mufflers toast!! That's my public service announcement for today...hopefully this turd can get to Detroit now this weekend!
 


It's all fun and games til swat shows up. "Guys, it was just my gp, I installed some parts wrong, is it really necessary to hog tie me and carry me out to the van like this? Who just grabbed my ass? I'm calling Sharpton about this!"
 
I thought it would blow ****ty 3 year old SD flex pipe..nope..just the stronger mufflers. Had to apologize to neighbors who were about to call the cops..awesome..but definitely a sight to see, hear, and feel..lol

It's a 8rib balancer, it provides better balance for the crank at higher rpms...it also helps control timing via crank shafts position sensor, so by putting it on clocked wrong, timing was off and didn't know it so kept trying to start it for about an hour trying different things, finally to much unburned gas got in exhaust I guess and a spark lit it up..only mufflers toast the car is fine..lol..new exhaust already on car.

At least you have a guess. Best I can think is he some how spun his blower backwards which creates a huge vacuum in the mufflers, which imploded then exploded not unlike a mini Nova...
 
its a aftermarket balancer, with two key way slots. he used the wrong slot and that made the timing way off, dumps raw gas in the exhaust, and when the spark fires it back fires and the gas in the mufflers lights up and blows them out like that.

and its loud as hell when it pops like that.
 
you've heard of rodeo sex right? when you going at it doggy, pop it in her but and now try to ride her for the full 8 seconds....... lol
 


Speaking of buttholes, I can't seem to unclench mine. Been watching The Isle of Man on Velocity. How those guys fit their oversized nuts in those racing suits I'll never know...
