Default I have a bomb attached to my seatbelt... wtf???

lol i was changing out my seatbelts last night and went to remove my oem seatbelt and of course it had the airbag wires attached and I cut those off because my new EP3 seats didnt have the sensors and I plan on getting a new steering wheel so no point in them anyways.... my question is....

when i pulled the seatbelt off it had a black cylinder attached to it that said...

Warning this device has explosive material inside. Dont not tamper with or could result in serious injury..... something along those lines....

wtf is that?? I could just leave them on there.... but i would like to take it off.... any suggestions on how to remove that thing??

It activates when you drive faster than 50MPH, if you slow to under 50MPH... BOOM!

That or it's the pyrotechnic seat belt tensioner.

I don't know man could be a terrorist planted that there. You might want go to ahead and give homeland security a call. Just let the bomb squad defuse your seatbelt for you.

its a one time use device that when you are in an accident, it blowes and tightens up the seatbelt so you dont fly out the window or smash into the airbag too hard

i found out what it is.... when your airbag is deployed these things explode basicly keeping your *** to the seat so you dont meet the air bag half way and break your neck

I like that idea. Except that Mustangs are wobbly, bendy lumps of toss.

It'd probably bouce right off a Mustang.

I've read of some cars having pyrotechnic charges as a means of pretensioning the seatbelt when a crash is impending. It will just yank you back in your seat. If it were me I wouldn't tamper with it. Lots of very smart people spent lots of time and money making sure that thing works appropriately and reliably to minimize the trauma on you if you crash.
