Engine Damage???
When I was installing my Frankencar mid pipe I noticed bunch of little rubber pieces inside the 3in hose. I cleaned both hoses and installed them on my car. My question to you guys is, what would happend if those pieces would end up in your engine. Could that do any serious damage or is it pretty much harmless?

here is a similar story, my friend was adding engine oil and on the bottle, there's a little platic ring to hold the cap and they break off when u twist open the cap. anyways, that thing dropped into the engine and there was no way we could take it out....he's car is still ok.
I think as long as u dont drop a pound of nails with metal BBs.....u shouldnt harm ur engine.

Engine... probably nothing. MAF, on the other hand... damn, those things are sensitive.
