I changed my dual tips to a header with quiet pack.

Now it sounds normal and comes alive when i start feeding it.

My single quiet pack was always dragging on bumps and scrapping. So I tried to install a hideaway muffler i purchased at CIP1 (sound was great) and unfortunately my back is too low. The tip was barely 2" from the ground. I then installed a Exhaust Dual Silencers.

It sounds like a mean Italian Ferrari.

Then I notice a whistle from the engine compartment. It was a manifold nut that was loosen. Tightened up and took it for a ride.

God,... I love this car.

Exhaust Dual Silencers

Sigh.

I blocked out the polysurfacer on my treasurechest door and engine lid. I'll prime them on the weekend and start on the cab doors which shouldn't take long.

installed new drivers door glass because some motherf@#king, douche-nosed, panty wearing sum-biatch decided it would be cool to put their fist through my window.

Chris · « **Reply #55 on:** November 06, 2008, 12:06:18 PM »

I was going to say that sounds like slammedbus, but he's really not douche-nosed

slammedbus · « **Reply #56 on:** November 06, 2008, 12:10:25 PM »

I resemble that!!!!!

owdlvr · « **Reply #57 on:** November 06, 2008, 12:18:22 PM »

I discovered that my touch up paint doesn't match.

Now my door could be named 'patches'.
