ok, sorry about the long un-update. Muffler went on fine, got a good look under the car while it was on the lift.............
SOME STUPID REDNECK TURD CUT THE CAT TRYING TO *GAIN* POWER AND DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE DECENCY TO USE A PROPER FLANGE FOR BOLTING UP TO THE DOWNPIPE AND I'VE PROBABLY SPENT $900 IN GAS THAT COULD'VE GONE TOWARD BETTER STUFF BECAUSE OF AN EXHAUST LEAK AND CONFUSED O2 SENSORS..... (insert Kamaha-maha explosion from Dragon Ball Z) ........ ........ ....... ...... .... Ok. I feel better.
It runs better though. And once I get the above problem rectified, it will sound better too. THAT'S when i'll do a sound file. In the meantime, who is the photobucket equivalent for sound files?
It'll be a bit for the sound file. small financial snaffu. anyhoo. changed my oil (finally.. grr. thank you Nykon ) and decided i'd snap a few pics while i was under there. this is my exhaust system from downpipe flange to the resonator in this order.
and yes, the u-bolt nuts are WELDED.
Nykon, that pic i sent to your inbox, there is a different angle in pic 4 /\
