Little accident on the dyno...

2006 STi on the Dyno, The exhaust melted through the strap and sent the STi flying forward. Poor STi

Yeah nothing terrible there, good thing.

Although I may agree with some of the posters on that vid; I don't think I buy the strap having a hole burnt through. Just can't imagine a shop having an in-ground dyno with that kind of shatty straps.

Here's a video of the STi doing 2 pulls before the accident:

Looks like the fellas running the dyno only had 2 straps in the back, The exhaust most likely didn't melt the strap, the driver side rear mounting point failed.
