I know it's loud and shitty. Had hoped it'd be quieter. I'll have to fix that quickly.

Holy hell that's loud. Where is your muffler? In the stock location or in the tunnel in the middle of the car?

And your crocs are gay.

Stock location, and tight.

I'm too lazy for shoes at home, and real pants for that matter.

Plenty of room for a big ol' resonator in the tunnel.

What do you think of the P/S delete? I have an extra rack, been thinking about making it into a manual rack like the miata guys.

I picked up one of these, I want to say it was $125 shipped. I have not put it on yet, but my exhaust is as loud as yours. The piece was very nicely welded. Just get the longest one they make and you'll have to cut it down to the correct length according to them. They are also known as TrueBendz.

The P/S delete sucks, but once I get my alignment back near spec it should be better. I'm running cut SVT springs front and rear which really F'd up the alignment. I'd installed the SVT stuff stock and went for a drive. Steering was normal then and rather effortless. After I dropped the car steering effort requires you be a Olympic power lifter. Also you will need a P/S delete pulley. I don't know of any available, I made my own. Basically there is zero benefit to removing the P/S other than a mildly cleaner engine bay. I regret doing it.

I still have that muffler you gave me for free a while ago in my garage. If you want it back I'll only charge you $1,000,000.
