and I quote:

"Long story short... N20 backfire took out the intake manifold and fuel rails at high speed. Friend thought the bottom end let loose... Didn't smell much at 150+mph. Rather than shut it down and have to stop with no brakes or power steering he coasted it to a stop. By the time it came to rest the open fuel and n2o lines had a huge blaze going. Took the FD 18mins to show up and put it out. The rest is history..."

Could have been saved with the Safecraft Fire Suppression System.

Best insurance policy available.

Trust me. Unless these pics were photoshopped - it DIDN't happen a week ago! :rofl ("leafs" around here have been gone for at least a month ..and the trees [evergreens aside] have'nt had a speck of green on 'em for two!)

Anyway, the pics illustrate THEE big reason why I've never even been tempted to install 'ny-truss' on any of my cars. 'Just don't trust any part of it. ONE lil' leak/malfunction and bye-bye (or "buy-BUY") car. Noooooo thank'um you.

Ay Pockets,

I too wonder if he replaced it, but I doubt insurance would pick up the tab because of the after market flammable performance add-on that malfunctioned and caused the crispiness. Ouch :ack
