D'Oh! - How inconvenient, down time before you could finish the install, bummer.

Dude, Mechanics gloves are $10 at sears, worth every penny

Good thing it wasn't a more complicated header install like a mustang you might have lost an arm

Best comeback of the day. Sorry about the booboo though, that looks really painful. Were any parts harmed?

How did the cleaning go? I dread the thing they use to scrub wounds. Hurts worse then the original injury.

Oh, she numbed the heck out of it, then i watched her do exactly that, literally just SCRUB with gauze. I was like that's the inside of my body your scrubbing be gentle.

If this is a DD or you take long road trips you might want to consider some sort of remote NPP switch. I love the sound of the open exhaust but, sometimes it's a bit much on a longer drive. A remote switch will let open and close the NPP with he push of a button. I leave for work a 0630 and the neighbors appreciate the closed NPP.
I made my own switch for 5$, wasn;t going to pay 100$ for the thing, I use it when cops are around, haha.
