So after going to 3 muffler shops to get my exhaust put in I decided to do it myself. Why?

Sorry but each place was the same old story. Some haggard looking dude wreaking of cigarettes, filthy as fk and one guy even put out his cigarette in his hand before trying to get in my car. No thanks, I'm out!

It's freezing outside but I'm half way done. I did buy a set of pliers for the exhaust hangers which made things easier.

lol, hope it works for you...we are supposed to hit ~50 in WI tomorrow :spaz:. What exhaust and/or DP? I chose King MotorSports outside Milwaukee due to the cold. They worked through a broken stud on the DP (<4k on car).

It also helps with a second set of hands and two additional jack stands to prevent the exhaust from falling on you. Spray some WD40 on the hanger rubbers for easy removal/install.

At least you don’t have to cut up the factory exhaust into pieces for transport with DIY.

Recorded a startup sound/video of the AWE Touring exhaust.

I'm just trying to be helpful here. Posting online about not paying taxes doesn't seem like a smart move...
It's legal. Why assume people won't pay when they file? Inferring something shady doesn't help either.

sounds so good. Was the exhaust “broken” in? And do you have a DP?
Thanks. It’s broken in. No down pipe. It comes with a front pipe though.

The AWE Touring is just about perfect in both volume and tone, no drone. May move center tip out or outer two in slightly instead of parallel 1” forward of bumper edge.

Looks amazing RepyT. May I ask what tail lights are you rocking? I’m interested in a smoked option.

Thanks!
