Hey Gale. You need to get the bodywork done so we can plan a weekend in the great white north.

Mr.kenchan.... 12mpg???

Are you serious?? You have 2 X VQ indet the G-hood???

Oh Sh!t..... not again.....




The exhaust is on... almost ready to go... only couple issues... the package did come with bolts n nuts... Also, my friend suspect there should be a metal that holds the two muffler together but it seems not in the package....

Just PM the vendor and waiting now...

yah, unlink one side and drive around to see if it makes the noise. you can't tell if worn just by looking at it. if noise stops, then it's 100% your endlink.

mr.alcheng- yah, with stop and go the mpg is very bad on the G. the intake and lessening drag will help.

sorry to hear about the missing piece. hope your friend has another part he can use to substitute. or just have the guy weld on a new piece.
