    Duals are in, and dislocated my shoulder!

    So I got my dual exhaust in, what a pain in the fucking ass. Nothing but problems. But the crowning moment came late in teh day. I was laying on my back, under the TC, and was holding up the right-hand exhaust, and was trying to tighten an exhaust clamp for the hanger. I moved my left arm just right (the one holding up the exhaust) and my damn arm popped out of the socket. Well, I lay there for a few moments, then my arm popped back in with a nice crunching sound. Now, it hurts like hell, and is stiff as well. But hey, I got dual exhaust! And my dad said it was loud, and sounded like a "manly" car. That is the first complement I have ever gotten from him about any vehicle I have had.

    Now, I will rest my arm and have a pepsi. Drink up! :rock:

    Sweet!

    Is it duals to the back, or just dumping out from under the car?

      Exits in front of the rear tires. Maybe some day when I am ambitious enough, I will have them exit out the back.

                    i was going to use a piece of rebar my dad had laying around. only prob is i have the 4 cat setup, and its a bitch getting the 3rd and 4th cats. eventually i want to get new headers(long tubes maybe) and ditch the cats entirely. i gotta read up on nh laws a little more. i thought there was one where if the car is 10yrs or older the emissions crap don't have to be there.

                            Remember there is a wire mesh in the cats that you need too remove as well or it will rattle around. Teh vic and towny are completley hollow. MY other cars don't come with cats.

                              One of these days, I think I will start a company that will hollow out converters and run a straight pipe through them for a small fee.

                              Of course this would be for off road and novelty use only.... hehehehe
