all done...only 2 minor snags...
one bolt would not line up, reamed the hole a bit, slide right in... the pipe was close to the rear sway, so I put a c-clamp and squeezed it a bit, oval'ed... perfect now... I love the sound, a bit deeper, not louder... seems to spool a tad easier too the old muffer was rotted on the can and at the tailpipe, it just fell off... the front hanger rubber was missing, lined everything up, installed a new one no rattles, no vibrations... also adjusted the idle...got my new screws warmed car up to test drive for the exhaust jumper the icv out set to ~850 put a dab of pliable non-hardening silicone on the screw tested...ac, lights, etc....stable |

when I get home tomorrow I'm going to inspect every sqaure inch on my car. Just got it so I need to find all the little tid bits that need fixing. I already ordered a ton of stuff thats piled up by my front door waiting for me. Shift boot, center console leather, a pair of door panels, headlights, and I have gauge rings and white faces on teh way too. Little to do but still a good amount of work. Cant wait. Only got a taste of her before I had to leave her for a week.
