      Yes, the car has duals. I'm going to have some exhaust work done in 2012 because the system is showing it's age now.

        new inspection sticker

        The shop completed the mvi today...finally! Yesterday, one of their mechanics quit, which put them further behind schedule. Now I just have to get the car appraised and registered in my name.

              Thanks! I haven't really thought much about what brand of parts I'll go with. I don't want attention from the police...:smirk:

                  As long as you keep on two cats, it wont be loud at all. It will have a nice rumble though and i like the sound of magnaflows a lot more then flowmasters, heard a crown vic with a set on and i regretted going thrush for sure. They arn't real loud but they have a really good sound to them.

                    Thanks for your comparison. I drove the car home tonight from the storage lot, where I left it on Thursday after picking it up from the shop. My first order of business tomorrow is to get some quotes for auto appraisals. I saw an ad on Kijiji for $29.95 but if the guy doesn't have a license, then it's a scam.

                          The guy does have a license for doing appraisals. Just 2 hours after calling, he came over and did the paperwork! Tomorrow I'm going to get the car registered in my name

                            It's mine now!

                            I went to the DMV yesterday afternoon and got the paperwork completed. I posted some more pics on Facebook. No interior pics (sorry 86VickyLX) because I haven't cleaned it up yet...

                                Mine came with spots where they were leaking because of a bad welding job on one of them right at the end of the body of the muffler where its joined with the outlet, same with my buddy, he bought two and one of his leaked from the factory and had to be patched up too. Have the same problem? You get what you pay for. If Pat threw some magnaflows or super 40's on his car, i would love it so much and im sure he would too.
