That quote is to remove the old mufflers, replace them with pipe, and replace the resonator with a glasspack. The kicker is 1.8 hours of shop labor at 93 an hour.

Afternoon all.

So I've been reading about the huge pile up back home on southbound I-75 in Detroit this morning due to whiteout conditions from lake effect snow. Actual accident scene stretches for over a mile. At least 30 vehicles involved.

What a mess, heard a lot about it on the radio at work today, 3 dead they said including some children. Sad. That PT Cruiser looks very lucky in the pic.
Not been on much, kinda busy adjusting to work life.
Cold and snowy today, windchill like 7 this morning. Suppose to get down to 6 tonight so withe 25 MPH winds, feel even colder.

Thats still way to much money Keane!

I will use my saws all and a cpl clamps and scavenger pipes and I would do it for you for the price of the parts!

I literally just read about this other huge pile up Michigan had earlier today as well: US-23 south of Flint, again due to the lake effect snow. Happened a few hours after the one in Detroit and I read this one also involved
about 30 vehicles. Man, Michigan is getting hammered today.

Yes, I'm still in Mexico. I came across the pictures online because I was curious of seeing what happened.
