Bummer about your O'Reilly's, Dustin. Guess I should consider myself lucky. This one has always been great about warranty service and customer service in general. A lot of franchise / chain stores differ wildly depending upon the particular manager.

On an entirely different note... Dustin, based upon your sig it looks like my exhaust will bear a striking resemblance to yours by the time I'm done making some mod's. I'm curious if you are still running with a resonator? If so, is it stock or aftermarket?

My exhaust mod's will be done in stages: (1) ZZP downpipe w/Cat (2) Magnaflow mufflers (3) 2.5" pipes from Cat back (4) Aftermarket resonator of some kind. I'm doing it in stages to monitor how each change affects performance / sound. As my wife's daily driver, and in the interest of marital bliss, I can't make it too loud. But I do want to squeeze out as much extra power as possible by opening it up a bit.

Morning Amy & JJ

Amy: hows the printing buisness treating you?

JJ: Whats planed for today?

Dave: here's an idea use a cherry bomb as a res, i did it on our saturn becuase the res was rusted out, looking inside the stock res vs cherry bomb they where deigned about the same only diff was the stock res had the perferations sticking into the exhaust flow and the bomb didn't only run you about $20-25 depending on where you get it

Kohls didn't work out - have no idea why I couldn't get a job there. It might have been I told them I couldn't work this up coming weekend cause of the car show I will be in. I've had over 10 years part time retail experience - oh well. I don't think I could work 7 days a week anyway. I guess my Dad will be helping me out with money.
