As promised here are some more pics











The story behind the exhaust was, one day I was looking at some exhaust and couldn't decide between custom or bolt on. I decided to do some research on true dual and swoosh's thread was the one that popped up, now since I'm very impulsive ...cough cough...(working on it) I didn't read through the whole thread and I purchased the first design, except for the rear mufflers. After getting the mufflers I told my cousin at the shop that I wanted 2.5" piping, but he recommended 2.25", I want to say that's why mine sounds different but I enjoy it very much. New wheels on the way, not here yet but I will update the thread as soon as I get them installed.

That wash brush looks like it can do some damage to the cars paint.
Hopefully its a soft one.

I asked my friend who used to work there, I guess the guy tries out 3rd and 4th gear, but goes for the one he feels has the most power.

I also asked about the torque since I didn't that day...I'm running 240wtq
