Great work, you're probably sleeping now, and it'll be easier when you are rested. What are you doing for filling the back panel? Enjoy the new sound. Joe

Default Just an update on my progress....

G'day to you all

Just an update on my progress.........didn't end up being able to mount the covers before my busy social day yesterday

but couldn't resist taking my vette out all day

With the side pipes on....just had to be careful not to burn myself..but you guys with Hookers have to deal with that everyday!

Side pipes sounded great!!!!!!! Yippeee! We both (my bf and I shared the driving) couldn't help but to revvvvvvvv it out more because of the sound of the pipes...and we even think we have improved performance over our last exhaust (when we took our old exhaust off one of pipes was squashed down...)

Did about 5 hours of driving.....and by the time we got home our ears were ringing ....and this effected our balance!

We will be installing the covers this week.....we are going to take the pipes off and mount the covers here.

Ill keep you posted because I think there are some important things that haven;t been covered before.
