now we're talkin...tomorrow i will be giving Melanie a full wash claybar wax job, and post up some pics on here...as long as it doesn't rain of course (2 weeks straight of this **** is enough)

Stone629

I hear ya man. Def get some pics of Melanie up once you get her clean.

This rain and fog has got to go!! Its pouring here too.

USMCrebel

any word on the mineke guys?

Stone629

Heading over to one now so he can look at it. I want to talk to him for a bit before he does anything too, but so far he seems ok.

USMCrebel

good stuff....its sunny and warm today...perfect washing weather!!!!

Meineke got it on the lift and found the broken stud (drivers side, one that bolts X-pipe to manifold). They thought they could fix it, so I left it with them. They called about 30 mins later and said they couldn't get the remaining stud out. I called FastLane Motorsports in Benson, NC. They are a speed/dyno shop for Mustangs. He told me to bring it in the morning, that its no big deal. He said they would just drill thru it and put a bolt in it instead. So hopefully, she'll be purring by tomorrow afternoon!!

there we go!!! thats what im talkin about.

Get in good with the FastLane guys and have them fix the stud, completely replace the pipe with a new one, and write it all up on Walmart's tab. They're a mustang shop, they should look out for a brother!

This is true, Rygi! I explained everything to him over the phone, and he said he would look out for me. He said, "Yea man, that pipe is most likely a goner!", which I'm pretty sure means that a new pipe is in order. Depending on how much they have to do to fix that manifold, I may end up taking it step farther.....LTs and a cat-back would be nice!

I'll keep you guys posted.
