Deciding to tackle my exhaust issues today, I think.

Didn't find anything loose to cause a rattle, except the heat shields seemed to be too close to the underside of the car, possibly causing a little rattle (was easy to tap them against the underside and a lot of space between them and the exhaust itself). So I bent them out a little and will try it out later.

Now I just have to try and figure a way to move this drivers-side tip back in a little... and I'm not finding any easy solutions.

It's actually not that bad.
I've been doing twice as much contract work for TIGI now that I'm not in the salon, and I've been making quite a few house calls. So no worries about running out of money.

Thanks, mr. alcheng. Yah, the straightline stability over these uneven dips and humps that was bugging me is now greatly improved, and being able to power earlier out of a tighter turn is

Best of all, the car still feels like it's one piece like stock...just better.
I doubt I'm going to need the rear bar.

Wow, that is not good. I have had to deal with this a few times. Did he do it at work?

Whew!

Just checking.

I know Mr. Onzedge is concerned that he's been iggy-fied.

Side note: How long'd it take you to install the whiteline sway?

Hang in there -- there's no understanding some things.
