Afternoon everyone!

Well, I have a hole developing somewhere in my exhaust system. Sounds like it's somewhere around the resonator. The entire system looks really rusty on the outside, except for the chrome/polished aluminum tips. I'm wondering if I should go with a simple, stock-style, replacement system from the cat-back. Or if I should look into another cat-back system like SLP (for example). I love the SLP tips AwesomeSS Amy has on her silver Monte.

What ever system I go with, it can't be loud. The Monte is my only vehicle, and I work nights. So I have to drive through my neighbourhood at night, and I don't want to **** off the neighbours.

I think I'm gonna have to take apart the right rear brake in the Camaro. I think something is jacked up with it because all of a sudden the car wants to pull right and it feels like something is dragging. I know I'm probably about 10k miles from needing brakes (at least on the front, not sure on rear) but I checked and the front rotors look pretty much the same. Surprisingly good shape as well. Unfortunately I'll have to take everything apart to check the rears (rear drums). Not looking forward to that.
