It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

How many potatoes/bananas does it take to clog a dirty vertical exhaust? Should we use pineapples instead?

I’ve seen exhausts big enough that a pineapple wouldn’t plug.

Depending on your location, a watermelon might be cheaper.

I'm in the south, this is the way.

Yeah people underestimate the smell of a rotting watermelon. It's pretty close to durian. Had a friend put one in their trunk and forget about it for a couple weeks, until like a week after it started to smell.

How about a 750ml bottle? Weighted with some sort of liquid, of course, so it goes all the way down. They're pretty high up too, so you'll probably have to lob it in. You'll with a handle of some sort, maybe made of fabric, so you can get a nice lob throw and land it right in the stack.

Those are pointed down, you know.

Do you often hear whooshing sounds?

So you’re saying to jam it in hard enough to secure. - “for safety”?

Not condoning this but sugar in the gas tank or squirt brake fluid on the paint of the car, it'll eat through it.

Ooh! One of my favorites is slapping bologna on the car. Leave it and it will eat through perfect circles. Polka dot compensation truck. It's gotta stay for a few days tho.
