I'm surprised your tires aren't eaten up yet by the strut, most 245 don't fit in front.

The exhaust has been done!

exhaust has been done! two weeks ago... havnt had time to post. so i went with a simpler and cheaper solution. my plan was to remove the resignator put on a muffler and split it form there to give my car dual exhaust. The looks anyways... well right before they started chopping. one other guy came up and said "why dont you do this instead" i thought it couldn't be done. but he got it done. this is the final product of my exhaust. Complete muffler delete, with resignator still in place. Split the exhaust and ran it his own way. Its a TIGHT fit. and the owner of the shop was very hesitant about it. But i got it done.

little bit more. i do wish they could be a little bit more sunken into the bumper a lot more. id say im 80% satisfied with how it all turned out. I will make a video for sound. its pretty okay.. for my taste. $110 for labor and $110 for tips.

wtih that being said... who wants it?

I have the muffler still. i want to throw it away, i dont have any place for it right now. or i would just keep it. i gotta get something for packing and droppng it off. $20 for it plus shipping cost? its perfectly fine. is it worth anything to anyone? im in Ca btw so pick up and drop off is okay. just something small for my time.

its sounds decent to me. But I'm not a big fan. There is a pretty annoying hum at 60-65 mph while the engine is still cold. I think your ears get used to it though. It gets quiet. Any motion of acceleration and you hear it. Its great accelerating it makes it up for me. I only wish it had a deeper rumble. I'll add a video when I can.

You should take it to a scrap metal shop and maybe get something for it.

I was referring to him still having his OEM muffler, why did you even randomly post a picture anyways.

Battery help... Please.

Alright so I though I fixed the problem i had. I thought tinkering with my new headlights with the car off killed my battery to the point where it Would not hold a charge. So I bought a new battery. Well I left the car sitting for three weeks and now my battery is dead again my brand-new battery. So I checked for a drain On my battery and it is pushing 12 volts with the car off. So I dug a little deeper into it and unplugged my headlights and did another voltage check with the car off and both headlight harnesses are getting 10 to 11 volts.. What I really need is for someone to unplug their headlights and see if they are consistently getting high voltage. I can't find anything on it and I feel like that's not right. With the car locked up power off. It's also pushing the same voltage, maybe a little higher when the headlights are on. Any help is appreciated. I'm unplugging my headlights every night. It's getting old.

That was me I was showing him something on his computer. And his comment was to me. I don't know why he quoted you.
