Pasta break.

Exhaust came this morning: cool

It's taking forever to install because my jeep is stupid.





Stainless steel Gibson preformance cat-back and SS Magnaflow universal cat





Cat on





Muffler on

That's as far as I got, the stupid pipe and hangar aren't lining up.

Finally got the exhaust on.





Still need to get/make a hangar for the back.





Also need to get this welded. The exhaust escapes through even when tightened

Still has to break in, but I took it for a quick drive. As quiet as stock when cruising, no drone, but on start up and acceleration you get a nice sound out the back. Nice and rumbly when you're standing behind it, still have to here it rev from behind myself though. Butt dyno approves also.

Not gonna lie, I'll miss the open headers though.

Also need to figure out what to do with the O2 sensor that's disconnected. There's no mount or anything on the new cat obviously, but I hate seeing the CEL.

When you go to an exhaust shop to get the pipe welded they can weld in an o2 sensor bung and you can get them to make a hangar too.

Nothing new really. Working alot which helps for this addiction. Next big things are the rocker replacements and stiffiners. Just have to have the time to get it to the shop. Cut and fold rear corner panel flat flares are also in the near future. Looks ugly without flares





Got us some business lol. Boss says to park it up nice whenever we do a tent sale

Dude, nice build. Flame Red is no Chili Pepper but I guess it's okay ;p JK, I love the color match. Truck looks good with no flares in my opinion.

Thanks man! I just like the clean look, that's why I'm waiting to order flat flares and cut for them.

Thumbs down

Have it a nice wash, clay bar/wax, and shine. All just in time for the rain...

Had some pretty bipolar weather here over the weekend. It would be sunny, then out of nowhere a whiteout of Dip N Dots like snow for 10 minutes, then sunny again. Over and over. Then yesterday it's 70° and now it's 35°, like what the hell nature??

In other news, some unforseen payments had to be made so it'll be a minute before any major purchases.

my gauges haven't been that color in a long time, forgot what it looked like haha. First blue, now lime green, next white then lime green again (for testing) then whatever color I decide I like best! It's just getting broken in, keep on keeping on!
