Upgraded the exhaust. Now it doesn't sound like an electric car anymore! Oh, and made this very detailed how-to video:

Great vid. I watched ~80%, and admire how you didn't edit out the time consuming and taxing clamp removal and reinstallation. That effort illustrated how frustrating it can be.

One thing that surprised me: I didn't hear you inventing any new profanities. You've the patience of a saint.

Bookmarked. Thanks!

Lol thanks. There were a few MF's dropped under my breath I can assure you.

The YouTube how-to's where they edit out the real work and are vague on details have their place sometimes, but they always seem to lead me to mistakes and poor planning when it comes to tools and/or time set aside. I like to show people EXACTLY what they are getting themselves into and what it looks like/involves.

Hope I got a new Subscriber!

Nice job. I like the hammer job on the C-pipes, I had to do the same thing. I could never get rid of the drone with my twin can muffler, so I just ended up modifying my stock one. I even tried new clamps and baffles. My car is a 98 by the way, so one set of cats.

Oh Joy

Why are we so pensive prior to cutting the filter open? And so elated when there is nothing inside?
