Just got an email from Kooks wanting me to fill out a waiver before my headers are made that includes my vin#. This sounds like trouble, seriously thinking about canceling the order.
Would be a shame if you somehow entered the incorrect VIN number. I bet your VIN number is very very close to the ones posted on used car sale sites.

The way this is going, Kooks 50 year business, is done. Who is going to sign such a letter, in these times?
I’m ready to just tune out completely. This is my only hobby and it’s all but dead now. And my car doesn’t get driven more than 2k miles a year. If they shut down the late model industry will it be the same for boats, motorcycles, and classic muscle cars? This is going to get ugly.

If they can convince you there's a pandemic and you need to wear a mask, that men can compete in women's sports, that there is no election fraud, that the Bill of Rights do not apply anymore, they will easily convince you that there is a climate crisis.

The general public has become so dumbed down they are a threat to my liberty and freedom!

We truly need an uncivil war. If China invaded tomorrow I would give them ****ing maps to Washington DC.


Joe Biden has sniffed here.
China's already won the war and not a boot on the ground, not a shot fired. There's no reason for them to invade

Meanwhile Canadians can order catless headers from SW. Which makes sense, since we don't have to comply with US emission laws and next to one gives a shit here.

Here is the response that I got from SW:

I can understand the EPA going after companies that build and market complete build vehicles and advertise them as emissions compliant but this is not the case here at all. These are just companies selling aftermarket performance parts that aren't intended for street use. It is not like they say it is for road use or passes emissions. They usually have options for that.

Check this out.
It's not passed, yet, but they are going to be working on it. Check out the bulletin points in the article. Wow.

‘Extraordinary crisis’: Democrats’ revolutionary climate change bill aims to remake U.S. economy

Best bullet point from that article——

“Mandates that 40% of all federal funds provided in the bill go to “environmental justice communities” or communities of color disproportionately impacted by climate change. It also requires “environmental justice training” for employees at federal agencies.”

W..T..F

Unfortunately for us what happens down south isn't far behind as vendors cease to exist. Its a sad world... Too bad Canadians are too damn lame to do anything for ourselves rather than suck off the American teet.

Ive honestly stopped any plans for the Shelby. Ive got a bunch of parts that are sitting in the garage. If I cant get a tune for them, or a tune that isnt neutered with a record kept on tap for the G-man to see, then whats the point. If they are literally interpreting any tune other than the factory calibration being in violation and subject to fines then the games over. They are considering code readers as defeat devices! I love my GT500, but not enough to pay black market prices for whats going to be considered a contraband tune.

Same goes for my recent interests in cheap late model GM performance. Vette or Firebird, if I cant get a tune for parts, or if they neuter HP Tuners what the point?

We are literally not even 2 months in to this shitbag's term and the EPA is knocking on doors and essentially attempting to shut down the hobby we love. 2022 may as well be 10 years from now with the overeach these ****ers are slinging.

Time to look into classic muscle.
