No pictures yet. I had the camera ready but it rained pretty much all day. And when I had time, the car was all dirty again, even though it was detailed yesterday 
Its at the muffler shop right now getting a full 3" exhaust put on.

yeah its the pvc 90* pipe. gauge fits in perfectly.
Got the 3" Exhaust all the way, from flex pipe and back.
This time the alignment of the exhaust is perfect.
Also installed front ingalls control arms
Old one out
Next to each other
While putting the passenger side on, i saw that the ball joint's bolt was a little cross threaded and the nut wouldnt go up. So I started looking for a tool to fix it with and found this
A set of fine filing tools that my dad bought in russia over 30 years ago. came in very handy to sand down the cross threaded part.
looks like i'm keeping this set for ever. the oldest tool we have
tomorrow, gotta get alignment done, install EDFC, reinstall f/ic correctly, etc.

What paint did you use on the pillar? That looks great in there, much better then the bulky pillar pods available now.
Definitely get a resonator in there if its too raspy.

originally i had left it out, but the exhaust was super raspy.
Then we installed this race cat,
This was not much helpful in taking away the raspyness.
will be installing a resonator very soon and may be take off the cat completely. and for those wondering about the CEL, it didnt come on because I used a defouler like this
I think the brand name was STRUP and no CEL.
My interior repair guy mixed up some dye for leather seats to match the color and then sprayed it. I'm sure i'll install a resonator very soon.
Havent driven it yet, just installed the camber kit. Sounds loud, but its still very raspy, need to put on a resonator.

Some shots of the car from the meet
I ran this m6 on the way to Austin, we started rolling from 60, neck to neck till we hit 100 and then he started getting the lead.
And then ran Ross's (CLTYPESLOW) SRT8 Monster. Roll from 40 and stayed neck to neck the whole time. I forgot if how fast we were going until he ran out of space

I know you know the deal after all that driving!!!... a resonator will most likely do the trick!

wow, you weren't lying, you sure did keep up w/that m6 pretty well! What mods do u have accompanying your 3.6L and what #'s does it put down? That gauge pod looks good too, great work!

Hes been on the dyno but dyno numbers are absolutely useless. If you saw what he put down vs what the car is actually doing, you begin to scratch your head.
