Default Alive again

My wife and two kids are back on the east coast visiting with family so i have the next two and a half weeks by myself so i got a little work on the car done. i fixed the fuel leak that i had and fired the car up without the exhaust on and boy is she a loud one. i only let her run for a few seconds before i shut her off and put the exhaust back on. I am so glad that i had the exhaust shop build the exhaust so that it all bolts together. only took me 10 minutes to get it all back together and fired up again. even with the high flow cat and two to one to two 2.5" pipes the flowmasters don't quiet it down that much. its so nice hearing her run again.
