Installed my eBay catback exhaust on. Sounds great, but I don't care for the fitment of the muffler.... The tip is touching the bumper cover. So I ordered a different muffler.

Mine came from Rock Auto for approx $134.00 each. There is normally a discount code on this site that will save some $$ to help with shipping.

yeah you dont see whats behind me LOL, thats my new shop was tired of my old cluttered one.

This one is 45x95 with 10 foot walls, heated to 70 deg year round, full apoxy treated floor with stain gaurd, massive T5 high output fixtures, large air compressor, welders, tourches, couple sets of tools, tire machine, hot warter wash bay with floor drains, buffing stations and of course the work side.


The reason for plywood? I redecorate so much I didnt want holes in the wall lol. Used treated plywood so when I wash it down i dont ruin the sheetrock.

Its a pretty fun shop, me being a electricaon/data comm guy in real life I wired it all up with speakers and am using a 3600 watt surround sound center and 65inch flip down tv in the living quarters section. Watch the ball games or work on cars. Almost finished making the bar area for mixed drinks and the shower has been isntalled in the bathroom. Working progress

Can't Wait! The moog sway bar links should be here in the morning hopefully during install, but i'm learning logistics and hate it,i wouldn't bet on it i picked up a set locally jic . I wish i would have picked up a set of H&R springs
I got less than 200mi on new lca ,tie rod ends,and mt engine mounts so this should cap the front suspension refurbishment.
