Default Got exhaust done...

Just got back from doing the exhaust mod that a fine forum member suggested. BIG improvement! If I can figure out how to video it I will.
Thanks again for your help

Hey Vett Girl

Thinking about trying this mod myself...did you do it yourself(if so, how hard?)..or did you have it done at a shop(if that, how much did they charge?

Thanks

Hey Vee_Gee, I thought you already had a cat back, no? I guess those were just tips then?

Forgot to mention earlier, the car has been running HOT, sometimes around 220 When they had it on the lift, I was looking under the car, and looked up front & i seen all this grass & stuff. It looked like a bird was trying to build several nests. I told the guy & he cleaned it out for me. Seems to be running a little cooler

This was a cheap MOD $42 & change. Anything had to sound better than what I had. Thanks for the heads up Screw991le

p.s. Jax - no cat back, just aftermarket tips.

Ha, if you look at the guy in the backround there VG, he could be my twin.. though he looks a couple lbs. lighter than I, we have the same rear-side head profile... funny!!

I'm sure it's not me...at least I think I'm sure...but then again...
