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.
 ;D

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.

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

Now my door could be named 'patches'.
