I feel ya, welcome to the world of cars. The simplest things always turn into hours and hours of work, or days.

mmm i dont like alkyhawl

it all tastes like refined **** to me

anyways, im mostly pissed about that bolt, thats about the 10th bolt ive broken in the last 2 months...

but really, im gonna ghetto rig some mounts, and ill **** with it when my Control Arms show up, or ill have a guy down at ed hansens mufflers fab up some tails (he did the mach, wonderful job) i think ill have him tuck everything up, fix the hangers, either make the tails work, or make new ones, get the tips perfect, and weld the tips to the tails, and the mufflers to the flow tubes. that way I wont have to **** with it when the exhaust needs to come off when my T5 grenades (it started leaking shortly after the rebuild...)

Fuzzy, Are you using a torque wrench?? 10th bolt in two months? you're overtorquing things which causes them to break. Invest in a decent 3/8" drive and 1/2" drive tq wrench. It helps cos if it's TQ'd right and the part is still not correctly seated or sealed then you know you have another issue and tightening it further won't help.

calm the **** down and take the car to an exhaust shop cause you cant seem to figure it out. watch them do it and maybe you will learn, dont blame the car for your mistakes.
