Dammit. I thought about that this morning on my way into work. Only have 2 jack stands -_-. Would your friend be opposed to me possibly being an inconvenience and using his lift for a bit?? I can provide money or beer or breakfast or something if needed

His lift is at his business. I had to schedule something during business hours and everything ya know. Not like at his house or whatnot. That would have been easier but oh well it got done lol he hated me later considering it took 4 hours to get the demon bolts on the cats off lol

YouTube channel name is the same as my name on here. Fpenvy.

Damn. Hmm maybe I'll have to find some rhino ramps or something I guess.

Also I found it and have been going through some of your exhaust vids. That thing sounds mean but LOUD. I will make it a point to hear it in person one day.

Well you may have to wait to hear it in all it's glory. Just put the mufflers back on since I need to get my inspection/emissions done this month lol

This is my main reason for not wanting to touch too much on the exhaust side. Such hassle involved in getting inspected etc. Ran into that with my GTI but it's not my issue anymore

Hoping my gf's dad has another set of stands available. Just got 2 from him a few weeks ago so maybe he has some extras lying around I can use for a few hours

Haha yeah not as bad but from what I understand Allegheny and Philly follow the Cali stuff but lucky there is no sniffer. It's stupid.

Rich Venturella in a '09, and Ryan O'Connor in a '14. I'm signing up later today for Group 2.

i've always thought about doing one but never looked enough into it because i just think they are overpriced to particapate in lol

Meant to comment in here earlier. Got the exhaust installed over the weekend. Took me a hell of a lot longer to get the stock exhaust off than expected because the bolts were so rusted. I wound up having to pull the mid pipes off with the muffler because even with penetrating oil the bolts were just rounding.

Other than that I had my gf help so it was nice to have a second set of hands. The tips aren't lined up in the back but after the ordeal to get the stock one off I didn't care to take everything back off. Did some adjustments on Sunday so the midpipes don't rattle on the cross member. All in all loving the exhaust
