I ran that for a few months, it gets the job done for sound.

Cat exhaust installed and sounds great without drowning cabin. Unfortunately the tips are hitting the side of the bumper and Kevin was not able to adjust away from bumper. He suggested to take to muffler shop as they can fix it and avoid burning the bumper. Going tomorrow to see if a muffler shop near me can fix it. Meinke said they csn put heat on the hangers to bend and have tip not rest against the bumper and cause damage. Will post photo and sound later today.

I haven't posted in a while so here goes...bought some Bridgestone S007As and dropped off the OG TE37s for reconditioning to swap the CR2Ps out. I've been running the Work wheels since 2015 and they are a pain in the *** to clean. Plus I'm tired of looking at the Rays in my guest room.

After checking ground clearance entering my driveway and speed bumps in my neighborhood. I installed the factory front lip, left and right front air guides.

Remove the 3 bolts holding the hanger rubber doohickey. Add at least .25 inches of washers to each bolt between the car body and the triangle. That should give you space. It's what I did for my FI exhaust to level them out. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...37c6e24bd8.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3fb889a1cc.jpg

Damn it, I had seen this exact same thing on YouTube and forgot all about it. Thanks for the idea. That will be a quick easy fix.

You're welcome! Enjoy not having to spend the $300 the shop would charge to heat and bend your hangers lol

Also, if you're still not satisfied with the alignment: your exhaust is basically two 10-12 foot long pipes with multiple angles and axes. Changing the angle of the pipes attached to the cats by a few degrees will produce a biiiiiig difference at the tips. It's a pain in the *** but you gotta loosen everything up a little bit and play with it

Today I finished up my stereo system install:

Pioneer H/U
Memphis Audio 2.75" in dash corners
JBL GT 6.5" in doors
Rockford Fosgate 8' powered subwoofer in cargo area directly behind seats

*I modified the two empty switch plates in the area with the cup holder to hold the volume knob for the subwoofer and the external USB for the H/U

I cleaned the entire car from its 300+ mile road trip I took on Monday. Inside and out.

I changed out the shift boot for a REAL leather one with matching stitching, as well as installed a new shift boot retainer and shift knob.

I changed out the interior lighting, cargo light, and license plate lights for bright LED bulbs.

...basically I was just putzing around. Easy little projects, but satisfying.

The last couple of days, I've been busy.

Finish the up-grade from 2" brake duct cooling hose to 3". That was a PITA.

The front ARP front splitter is almost done. Just have to figure out some splash shielding in the front fender well.

Started to install the FE Designs fender vents.

I find the little touches to be almost as fun as the megaprojects.
