Hit a milestone, got a goody

Well, hit 90,000 miles today. A little over 10,000 miles since I've gotten the car, in a year and 4 months roughly. Also, my mom ordered me the RV-6 V3 j-pipe for christmas, and couldn't wrap it, so she just gave it to me today I installed it, and damn it makes a difference. I would recommend it to anyone. It changed the exhaust note a little bit, made it louder and throatier (a little less drone). Great power gains, especially in a roll. Also, huge thanks to trancemission a mod on here and a friend who helped me install it (after I smashed my pinky and got angry). Here are some pics



No...my mpg isn't that bad, I only filled up half a tank my recent fill up.

My mom hates everything about my car. She says it's a waste of money, therefore she never buys anything for it. Actually, she put $200 towards the exhaust for part of Christmas

Congrats on 90k! I'm at 89,3xx right now so I'll be at that milestone soon!

Thanks guys, yea she surprised me too. She is really against my car, especially the ones that add power, despite me telling her it would make the car more powerful...

Congrats d-town! Join the cool mom club- mine ordered me a V1 for Christmas. I would've loved to see your mom wrap that J-pipe and put it under the tree.

Only 15K more miles until the cheap 105K service.
